25x = .00378
x = 0.0001512 m or .1512 mm

If one galon is .00378 m^3and the area it covers is 25m^2, then the thickness is:
0.0378/25=0.001512 m = 1.512mm

volume = area * thickness
0.00378m^3 = 25m^2*t
hence t = 0.00378/25 = 0.15mm

Your question is flawed....
You want the "DRY" thickness?
Or the "WET" thickness?
And if you want "DRY" you have to know what % will evaporate.
