I have seen many replies on R/CU in which a particular product is despised or adored. I wonder how many times a product is disliked simply because of a lack of experience and/or patience on the part of the user? Having been around the hobby for a good while, I have used almost every method to cover there is, excepting Solartex and I have not had the problems others have. I have not tried any new Monokote in quite some time, hence my original quarry.
