I feel the need to "pile on" this thread as I have been frustrated by the performance of Monokote for some years now.

I have used MK since it was first created, and so I have a long history of product use. I detected a significant change in the performance of MK 10-15 years ago. This may due to the possible EPA-driven formulation change GP refers to. In any event, my experience is exactly as Rune states: the older material sticks, shrinks and stays stuck much better. The new material is much harder to work with, and the "problem" seems to be getting worse--it could be that I am growing more impatient.

The solution for GP lies not in better application instructions, it lies in producing a better product.
