Gelatin Fining

I've seen a lot of posts on this, but want to clarify something.

http://www.brewing-tips.com/gelatin-finings/ says to use 1.5 grams of gelatin.

This thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/gelatin-fining-138118/ says a Tablespoon

Are these numbers equal for Gelatin? Can anyone confirm the appropriate amount for a 5 gal batch?

I use a quarter teaspoon (very little).

I have read that a half packet of knox gelatin is plenty. I ended up measuring a full packet and it came to between 6 and 7 grams so I know dump all the packets in a ziplock bag and measure out 3g per 5 gallon batch.

Works fine for me.
