Killing Horsetail - glyphosate and wallpaper paste

I've read the numerous posts about mixing Glyphosate and wallpaper paste
to form a gel to apply to horsetail, but have some questions;
1. What proportions of each should be used ?
Mix it and see. It'll depend on temperature too I suspect. Does
wallpaper thicken after a few minutes?
2. Is it true that it's best to apply weedkiller sprays at the start of
the day rather than at night, and why ?
I'd have thought being wary of rain was more important.
3. What suggestions do you have for bruising the horsetail e.g. I have a
besom broom; would hitting the horsetail with it have any effect ?
You'll have to find a way that involves putting the gel on perhaps?
It's growing through the pavement at several points further round our
road. It's doing really well breaking through too.
I suspect it is something the council need to get on top of now.
