Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this product safe for wool processing?
Yes, Agrimark Marking Paste is fully scourable, meaning it is formulated to be removed during standard wool scouring processes.
Can I use this on wet sheep?
Yes, this paste is specifically formulated to adhere to both wet and dry fleeces.
What is the best way to apply this paste?
It is highly versatile and can be applied using a brush, a dedicated application stick, or a branding iron.
Does the color bleed?
While designed to be durable, it is formulated to stay within the applied area; however, excessive rain immediately after application might cause minor movement.
How should I store the container?
Store in a cool, dry, and shaded area with the lid secured firmly to prevent the product from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Marking is fading prematurely
Ensure the fleece is not excessively wet or dirty before application and use a slightly thicker layer of paste.
Paste is too thick to spread
Warm the container slightly in room temperature conditions; do not apply direct heat to the product.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Effective in both wet and dry weather conditions
- High-contrast color for easy animal identification
- Compatible with multiple application tools
Cons
- Requires manual application

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the marking area on the sheep is reasonably clean of excess dirt. If using a branding iron, lightly coat the face of the iron with the paste, ensuring an even layer before applying it to the fleece. For spot marking, a brush or application stick allows for more precision. Store the container in a cool, shaded environment with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paste from drying out or hardening. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the color integrity.
