Title: How long for Clik before rain
Post by: Oopsiboughtasheep on June 17, 2020, 05:28:59 pm

Can someone tell me how long a gap is needed between applying Clik to dry sheep (sheared 3 weeks ago) and then them being rained on please? I can’t find the answer online anywhere else. Very many thanks.

Depends on what rain ,light rain /drizzle for a short while can help spread it a little , heavy rain all day  & night waste of time . It is  a very sticky product ( fleece bind ) unlike crovect , so only needs a couple of hours dry BUT  you still don't want a thunder storm on them

They were done about 30 hours before heavy rain, will they be OK or will I have  to do it again? Thankyou.
