That probably depends on how you do it. I use only parafilm with good success. Non-adhesive electrical tape works good too and may be easier to obtain on short notice.

When I teach grafting we do whip-and-tongue and cleft grafting only because I have about a 95% success rate compared to a poor success rate doing budding. Budding only gets a brief mention in my classes.
