This stuff is not cheap. Fancy lid. And ......ffs a foil! Is this 2002? Even a £15 tub of stabilan is foil free? Is is this extra waste to comfort me that this is legitimate gear.

Aviator has no damned foils so I can't see why this has. I'm going to ask them it's made me that cross.

Strange it's in a white can too compared to clear like all other Bayer fungicides.

Feel your pain.
The moddus generics are a pain too.
The paper seal in the lids are practically welded to the foil on the bottle.

Plectrum CCC is a complete and utter shitshow. Foil seals that the cap won't cut and those stupid 10l cans that look like stackable glyphosate cans so are impossible to drain. Also caps are on too tight. Avoid at all costs.

Those Moddus cans wind me up. I cant for the life of me see the level of the chemical in the can against the paper markings on the outside. So I have to fiddle with a small measuring jug to decant it into and then rinse it out. All this before the tank fills up.

No stilsons handy the other day so took a hammer and chisel to it holding the can between my legs.

Adama Phoenix (folpet) has about half an inch of sludge in the bottom of each can that it’s almost impossible to shift.

I have a strap wrench on hand at all times for undoing cans.
Does my nut in, especially those where the cardboard bit sticks everything shut.
The the foil cutter bits that fold over rather than cut

Half a litre of water in the can. Lid back on. Shake it like a Polaroid picture.

Still stuck, have got a rinse hose on the sprayer and it still won’t shift. Doesn’t seem much difference between some of last years left overs and this years.

Would that work? I don’t have a water heater at either sprayer filling point.

Have you tried washing with some of the spray mix? Sometimes that cleans cans better than clean water.

As Tesla said, a half litre-litre of warm (not boiling or raging hot) in the can, lid on and shake it proper might help.
