Would anyone hesitate to hit the fescue/bluegrass lawn with label rate triclopyr just days after hitting it with speedzone?

Would anyone have experience or think poorly of applying TRICLOPYR a few days after applying speed zone (Carfentrazone-ethyl - 0.62% 2,4-D, ethylhexyl ester - 28.57% Mecoprop-p acid - 5.88% Dicamba acid - 1.71%)?

I am trying to kill a bunch of wild violet in the back of my property. This particular area is loaded with violet.

I applied the high label rate of speed zone on Thursday with some dish soap as a sticker. The wild violet is curling up already (thank you, Carfentrazone, thank you). I have been fooled by this in the past and that's how I ended up with a yard full of the crap now in early summer. I have it stunned without legs right now and I want to knock it out with the Triclopyr. Would anyone hesitate to hit the fescue/bluegrass lawn with label rate triclopyr?

The high rate of TZone works out to 0.12 oz/M of triclopyr (active ingredient). So whatever concentration of tryclopyr you have I would run whatever amount gives you 0.12 oz/M. If the conditions were such that you were not worried about speedzone, I would not be worried about the tryclopyr being added. I roll my own versions of pre made mixes like speedzone and spike them with additional kickers all the time to save money on applications for clients. Main thing is do what you are comfortable with. Waiting 14 days to give you peace of mind may be worth it to you.

Not exactly the same but, I applied SZ and TCP together last year... BAD IDEA
did you lose lawn?? or did it just discolor?
I "lost" lawn for the entire summer basically... but it being KBG, it bounced back. I would take advice from the other posters in this thread and go with lower than labeled rate. This time around, I'm going to apply just TCP a month apart from other herbs.
