Subject: [NAFEX] parafilm grafting tape 
I bought 2 rolls of this tape from an orchard supply store.THEY said I probly wouldn't
need additional wrapping material.I am doing a "V" saddle graft.I plan to dip in
a hot canning wax solution.Has this method worked for others? skip s. zone 5  The
Parafilm is intended to replace the hot wax - it will seal the graft to prevent
dessication - I wrap the entire graft union and scion.  I would not count on Parafilm
alone to hold a graft together; for most grafts, I'll use grafting/budding rubbers,
then cover with Parafilm, but with 3- &4-flap grafts on nut trees, I wrap with with
the Parafilm first, then with the budding rubbers.  Lucky
