No matter how carefully you apply glyphosate as the 'weed' dies the
chemical will dissolve into the soil

Glyphosate is deactivated upon contact with soil, idiot.

To the OP: Glyphosate applied directly to the plants you wish to kill
is fine. I find it simpler to apply it by hand. I put a heavy
plastic/rubber/nitrile glove on my hand, cover that with a cheap
cotton glove, and dip it into a bowl containing glyphosate. Then I
grab the weed with the gloved hand and stroke it. It gets a good
application without dripping or runoff. When I'm done, the gloves go
into the trash.
