Michelle,
I just used the tape for binding then painted the
scion and union with Doc Farwells.
The tape worked much better than the rubber bands
that I use for bench grafting. Really quite slick.

if using this
splicing tape--is that used all alone? Does it stablize the
graft enough? Or is it just a cover over the
rubbers? Michelle

Michelle, Yes, if you're using a tape similar to the one I
use. You put a little pull stretch on the tape and it can be enough on
most grafts to cover the graft and also provide enough of the splinting
action the rubbers would provide to the job in total with just the grafting
tape.
There are many different causes of grafting failure. You didn't
mention what you're grafting. One cause frequently cited is beginners
leave the cut wood exposed too long. Experienced grafters become a
little frequent working fast and that's one reason they start to look
sometimes a little possessed when grafting.
