I mixed up ~10 oz. per gallon and thoroughly sprayed the leaves of all weeds (including poison ivy/oak and invasive honeysuckle) you think you may have wasted your money, but about 3-7 days later, everything shriveled. There are a few that popped back up, but I retreated. In all, I created a buffer between my lawn and the treeline about 12-15' wide by ~300' long. I've had to go back and spot treat maybe a little patch of about 15-20 weeds.
You can get it through Amazon or locally at a TractorSupply
Also you can get just the generic glyosphate 41% without the RM43's imazapyr , $20/gallon.

The goats were hired to create a fire stop fire mitigation. The owner provided an enclosure that was breached. This was the result.

I haven't tried this, but it was recommended by somebody's whose opinion I trust:

Apparently faster than roundup and organic...

My next step may be gasoline or diesel fuel??

Why not try the Poison Ivy killers. I have used that when I ran into problems like you have/ RoundUp poison Ivy killer kills a lot of weeds.

RM 43 get it from Amazon works better than any of the round up products ever have. Spray and then a week later I spray again doing 3 ounce per gal and say bye bye to vines, weeds, small trees, and bushes.
Finishing: I apply shellac before I apply varnish.
Routing:Hand Left to Right, Table right to left
Cutting plywood:Face up on the table saw
Face down w/circular saw.
Wear safety glasses when using power tools.

The problem with vegetation killer as a firebreak is that the dead vegetation burns exceptionally well. So after the killing, the vegetation has to be removed.

Looking at the label it is Glyphosate at 43.68%, I don't see much difference there.

While the active ingredient is the same, there are different surfactants that carry the product into the plant. I don't know anything about the one he posted, but it is not at all unreasonable to say one glyphosate product is better than others.
