Been using RU for many years. Yup, it clogs the screen if you leave it in the sprayer too long. Spent a few hours troubleshooting that problem so it stuck in my brain (what's left of it).
Storing Roundup after mixing

I have problems with it gelling too. I think it's the water ph or solids that contribute to it, so I don't store mixed RU anymore.
I also get gelling in my larger sprayer tip screens no matter how many times I rinse, so now I remove all tips and thoroughly wash/rise/dry them for storage after use. That's probably what I should have been doing all along anyway, and it sure saves time the next time I need to spray.

No problems here. Our water has a very low pH and no minerals. Probably haven't left it in the sprayer more than about 6 weeks, but I have been using RU for over 20 years.

I only mix what I need because it goes all stringy if left in the pump-up sprayer.
Use regular well water that tastes good but does have a lot of water natural chemical dissolved in it.

If it's the Round Up brand and not a generic there should be a toll free number on the jug that you can call or look on the Monsanto website.
