Recommendation for dilution of selective herbicide chems

I want to use up this old bottle of Spectracide's Weed Stop for Lawns, but
unfortunately the label is all kinds of gone. And that's beside the fact
that I really don't want to just spray it all the hell over the lawn, I'd
rather just spot-treat these horrible thistles that're just about
everywhere. Anything left over's going onto the dandelions. I don't want to
be bothered with sending it to the local Clean Sweep crew, which would cost
me more in gasoline to get there & back than it probably did to buy the
stupid thing.
This is the kind of product that gets hooked up to the end of a garden
faucet.
It contains, roughly :
2,4D 7.6%
Mecoprop-p, 2.7%
dicamba, 0.71%
sulfentrazone, 0.18%
That's if I can believe what I *think* I can see through a 16x loupe
looking at the front label. Guess the company didn't particularly want
anyone to know what-all was in it?
It was here when I moved in a few years ago. In case it's way expired, is
there any more harm in spraying it onto the lawn than if it weren't?
When I spray thistles, I use about 0.5% solution of 2,4D. You could dilute
your product quite a bit. I don't know about the other chemicals in your
mix. I really doubt this stuff has "expired".
