Tenacity aka WeedFinder?

Have anyone ever used Tenacity as a "weed finder" or a marker to find Poa T, bentgrass later in the summer or early fall, before an overseed project? My plan would be to use it as a weed hound and light up the POA T, bentgrass and any other grassy weeds that I can find and then kill it with Glypho. Then business as usual, spot seed the dead areas and overseed the good turf.

I did just that this month, spraying a couple weeks ago, and then using glyphosate today.

It helped locate a lot of stuff that I wanted to kill. Of course not everything that went white was Poa Triv, but most of it was.

The Tenacity was the standard 4oz/A rate, roughly.

It lit up POA and clover in my front yard. Sprayed on 4/20.

Rain and workload at work are killing me. I need to do this.
I so badly want to blast all the POA A with tenacity right now but I just can't do it. It's all over the place front and back. It will be a total
eye sore that I'm not sure I can deal looking at it. How long does it typically take for the tenacity to kill off the POA A?

Not too sure on how long or the amount of apps to take down the POA. There are a few threads on here about a POA constrictor method. The POA is already beginning to look weak to me after one tenacity app. I think that and the warm weather should kill it soon. Not looking forward to the bare patches after it all dies.

The Fiskars weeder I received for my birthday recently has been helpful to pull some manually (but not by hand :D ). It's very efficient and has saved my back. I carry around a 30 gallon recycling pail, so I don't have to bend over to pick up a 5 gallon bucket. I just noticed that some kbg rhizomes are filling in where I pulled a good size patch of poa a on Easter. I just need to add a little topsoil to backfill the bunch of clumps that I removed, to restore the level. If you get it soon enough when the kbg is actively growing, it should fill in before summer, so you have less bare spots.

This Fiskars are pretty sweet. I bought it and it's really convenient. The only issue I have is that I have dinner plate sized patches
