How about using an aerosol marker of a colour one can
actually see or is that too much like common sense or perhaps too much extra effort. :unsure:

Not a bad idea, but it's been thought through, as has wax marker, but it makes what should be a straightforward single handed job more complicated, and adds a spray (with propellant) to a spray (with chemical) times by a thousand.

Too many globules o_O

I use a black Crovect branded gun with fan nozzle. Maybe not a proper Clik gun but still never had an issue. Takes 2 or 3 lambs to get my swipe action “calibrated”

Edit. Photo of said gun. Usually has fan nozzle on but the T-bar was used for Dysect

That’s what I use too. I do them in a 3’ drenching race, with me standing outside. Any small misses just hit the neighbouring sheep.

As a matter of interest, can Clik or Clikzin be identified separately in the fleece if anyone wanted to check that wdl times were being adhered to?
If for example someone were to try and use 1/4 rate Clik, or watered down Clik, instead of buying expensive Elanco water in Clikzin.
What colour is clik?

I very much doubt it, but your medicine records will of course show which product you used.:)

If queried you might look a bit daft if you hadn’t got an invoice for some over-priced/ watered-down stuff perhaps?

Clikzin is green and Clik is pink?
 
That’s what was in the video I sent you this morning with the T-Bar (y)

Any use vetrazin now? I remember we used to use a lot of it but then clikzin came long?
I liked vetrazin cheap effective and didn’t eat flexothene waterproofs and drenching gear like it’s nasty next in line crovect
