[NAFEX] grafting with rootstock breaking dormancy

I have used rootstock that have broken dormancy many times and it makes no 
difference.  I always use the whip and tongue method and after the graft is 
done I put a layer of Parafilm M over the top covering the graft and the 
whole scion.  My % has been very good with using the Parafilm M over the 
top.
