Has anybody used the prilled version of the above and had problems with striping this year. Have used Yara's granular version or the oppositions multicut sulphur for the first two dressings for a number of years with no problems with the correct setup on my Amazone spreader. When I had SCS test it the pattern was fine but there was a fine dust film starting to build up on the spreader vanes after 75m distance travelling over the trays. When washing down at the end of the first days spreading there was quite a build up on the first 5-7cm of the vanes and I think this has been the problem.

I put wd40 on the vanes which helps.
Having looked on their websites after the event I can see that Amazone and Yara both recommend cleaning the vanes after each load with a W40 type product and this was also what the SCS operative recommended. To be honest I would rather not have to do that and will go back to the granular product that has never given this problem in the past. Just wondered if anybody else has had the same experience.
