I'm guessing the Parafilm 'grafting tape' must be perforated.
I'm in a laboratory setting, so I have ready access to the original 
Parafilm-M formulation.  We buy it by the case in the 2"x 250 ft 
rolls, so when I finish off a roll - it takes years - I just get one 
from central supply and pay the business manager.
I usually cut pieces about 3/4 inch wide by six inches in length in 
advance; one strip will do most apple/pear grafts, but I may use 2 or 
3 pieces on a big pecan/hickory/walnut graft.
