CUT'N'PASTE ORIGINAL

Glyphosate Gel for freshly cut stumps

Contains: 120g/L glyphosate as the isopropylamine salt

A strong and easy to use herbicide gel to allow you to target exceptionally tough weeds and vines. Because of the way it is used it is extremely eco-friendly and is used regularly by contractors, environmental groups and many councils.

Similar or equivalent to:

• Kiwicare (1) Weed Weapon (2) Invade Gel - although this is only 100g/L strength not 120g/L like ours.
• Yates Zero Rapid Gel (3) - although this is only 40g/L strength not 120g/L like ours
• McGregors Weed Out (4) - also a lower strength than ours
• RoundUp Gel (5)- although a gel this is very weak at only 7.2g/L .  Which is 16 x lower strength than ours.

Why Use Cut'n'Paste Original Glyphosate Weed Killing Gel

In spite of all the hype Glyphosate is still one of the safest and most effective herbicides on the market.  It is a non-selective herbicide meaning that it will kill most weeds and plants but because you are applying it in a safe and controlled way you are only killing exactly the plants and weeds that you select.  

• Very little if any of this easy to use paste gets anywhere other than on the weed or plant you want to kill. 
• Apart from that the glyphosate is deactivated quickly in the soil and does not have any residual activity.
• Ready for immediate use.
• Does not need mixing
• No spray to be inhaled or to drift onto plants you want to keep.

• Contains a coloured dye (usually blue or green) so you can easily see where you have been. NOTE.  Some older photos might show the old clear gel.

As a result of these benefits, this makes Cut'n'Paste Original Gel perfect for controlling weeds in revegetation plantings, riparian areas, in and around desired natives, and many other uses.

Directions for Use - Cut'n'Paste Original

For woody weeds

1. Cut the weed down to about 50mm above the ground and dispose of appropriately.

2. Take your bottle of Cut'n'Paste Original hold it upside down and gently squeeze a layer of glyphosate gel onto the whole surface of the cut stem and some of the surrounding bark.

3. Leave it to die off.

For the best effects paste the herbicide gel on immediately after cutting.

For Leafy Weeds

1. Use plastic gloves to make it easier and safer to apply onto leaves.

2. Wipe your glyphosate gel onto the UNDERSIDE of some of the growing leaders of your leafy weeds.   

3. Hold the leaf in one hand and brush on with the other hand.  This is because most of the stomata are on the underside of the leaf and this helps take the weed killer into the weed.

4.  Leave it to die off.  This should generally take a week or two. Cut'n'Paste Original is great big leafy weeds too!

Common Questions about Cut'n'Paste Original

How long does it take for the gel to be absorbed into the cut stem?

It depends on the time and the weather.  When it is warm and sunny the Cut'n'Paste Original gel gets absorbed in up to 4 hours.  When it is a bit cooler or the weeds are in damp or sheltered conditions then it can take a few days.  

What time of year can it be used?

In New Zealand you can apply the gel at any time but the effectiveness of Cut'n'Paste Original might be reduced a bit in the colder months.

How many weeds (stems) can I treat from one 450ml bottle of Cut'n'Paste Original?

You should be able to apply to around 240-250 cut stems assuming the diameter of the stem is around 25mm and you are applying a layer of gel around 4-5mm thick.

Can I apply Cut'n'Paste Original when it's raining?

Not recommended for a number of reasons.  Ideally you should not apply when there is risk of rain within 12-18 hours.  Ideally longer to give the herbicide gel a chance to be absorbed.  Also if it rains you run the risk of the gel being washed off onto non-target plants.

Is Cut'n'Paste Original safe around children and pets?

The relatively small amount of active ingredient together with the relatively low toxicity and the small amount being applied to each stem means the product is generally pretty safe but it is still a harmful chemical and must be kept away from children.  Especially in the bottle.  

Is Cut'n'Paste Original safe around other plants?

Because you are applying directly to the weed you want to kill there is no spray drift but if you spill small amounts of the gel on non-target plants then they can be damaged.  This is the big advantage the Cut'n'Paste Gels though in that you can kill weeds easily without harming other plants and natives.

How often should I replace the brush?

Normally the brush will start to wear out between 5-7 applications so if you are refilling from 5L packs then it is a good idea to buy two brush sets every time you buy a 5L refill pack.  

Are there any Cut'n'Paste Original residues left in the soil?

Because you are applying to the plant directly there is generally no soil residues.  Any product that drops onto the soil is normally deactivated in the soil.
