If that method of application is not on the label, I strongly recommend it not
be used in that way. Round up is a systemic pesticide and I wouldn't use it for
anything, certainly not with my latex covered hand. Who knows if it would break
down the latex? I may be alarmist, but if you have the glove on and all, how
bout watering the night before and pulling weeds out?

Instead of using a sponge why not use gloves?

You put on light surgical rubber gloves then woollen or cotton glove over,
then just dip your hand into the Weed killer mix, close your hand to get rid
of excess liquid, and then draw your hand over the weeds you want to kill.

Also it is better if you can treat the weeds in the evening rather than the
morning. The weed killer doesn't evaporate so fast so more is absorbed into
the weeds.
