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.
