Weed killer

[jeff m]

I'm looking for a weed killer that is rubbed onto a weed.
The best description I can think of is.... a bit like a rub on deoderant or a giant lipstick.

Tumbleweed Gel is painted on. The generic description is 'spot weeder'.

Anything you rub on is quickly going to get covered in bits of torn leaves and dirt I think.

As always searching after one posts is always more effective than before
It seems what I am looking for is a "Glyphosate wax stick" from what I remember it was very effective and of course no overspray.
It is of course banned..

I'll checkout the tumbleweed gel, a complete herbacide I assume.

Let me guess... kids using it at raves?

Glyphosate isn't banned. It's good stuff. Must be the wax and or stick feature that's the dangerous bit; it's certainly available in 10kg sacks of granules.

Roundup is one brand name for glyphosate. Maybe a few granules, some water, a teacup, some marigolds, and a paintbrush. That's roughly how a mechanical weed-wiper would work.
