This stump remover is the equivalent to pouring salt. It's a very long process, it doesn't stick where you want it to (on the stump) and 3 weeks in, I don't see any results. I was hoping to remove a bush stump, poured 2 entire bottles of this, followed instructing (to flush with hot water) and stump

I am on my second bottle and have yet to see any results. I realize it takes time for the chemical to work but I put the first application down on July 1 and a second again on August 7. When can I expect at least a hint of some results?

Too soon to tell if it is any good, really. The label says it can take from weeks to months for it to do the job. So far it has only been days since I put it in the stump. It is a very large fir stump. I drilled about (20) 1-inch holes, 18 inches deep, and put in a total of 2 bottles of stump remover. I'll be happy if it is soft enough to remove at this time next year.

I was not able to use it properly because it requires one to drill holes into stump and I wasn't able to drill deep enough because trunk was so hard. I need a new drill. I am waiting to have someone come and grind the stump down with a special device.
