Need advice about copper spray and rain.

Okay, so I know that you need to re-apply sprays after rain, but I've been trying to figure out what to do about multiple days of rain. We have been dealing with periods of thunderstorms and heavy rain for days at a stretch, sometimes a week or more at a time.

We have some EB issues on our plants, but I have resisted re-applying the copper spray after every heavy rain, because it seems like a waste to just have it wash off the next day. I have been waiting for the forecast to show that the rain will be gone for awhile before I re-spray. However, I hate the idea of the plants being vulnerable all that time.

I've been wondering how all of you deal with multiple days of heavy rain when it comes to copper spray, or other sprays that you have to re-apply after rain.

Thanks!
