Green Spreader Stickers

On a separate thread, Ami recommended using molasses as a spreader sticker for Actinovate.
I had intended to use plain old dish soap as my spreader sticker. But now I'm wondering if that's even a safe option (in regards to the organisms in the Actinovate).
As a rose grower, I've always considered dish soap a low impact and green-ish method to get some of the nasty stuff we combat the plethora of fungus that plagues roses to stick to their leaves.
But for my vegetables, I try to be as organic as possible, and I definitely don't want to render the live organisms in my MycoGrow and Actinovate useless.
So what's the deal... Is molasses the only/best solution on the path I've chosen? Is dish soap acceptable/safe? Are there other spreader stickers that can be used as an alternative?
