Default Touchweeder - gone forever ?

I've just used the last of my Touchweeder and on trying to buy some more
discovered it's banned !
I can't seem to find anything similar. Does anyone know of a replacement
that works in the same way.

((touchweeder was the wax based weed killer))

Thanks
Colin.......

Don't know if there is a replacement coming along, but you could try contacting the manufacturer: http://www.applegate.co.uk/company/10/43/729.htm

A friend of mine also failed to source this. In it's place I suggested she
mixed a little neat glyphosate with wallpaper paste and paint it on. Of
course, I'm not suggesting that to anyone here because it's illegal ...

Funny thing - I was going to suggest just that if a replacement couldn't
be found. A tiny drop of washing-up liquid in the mixture helps - and
don't make the paste too thick.
