Here's an old formula for grafting wax:
<x-tad-bigger> </x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>One formula for grafting wax that is probably hundreds of years old contains one part beeswax, one part plant resin, and sufficient lard or tallow to make the wax soft and pliable. Charcoal is frequently added to prevent the sun's rays from hitting the newly joined tissue. This remains a practical formula for home use today.
I've seen recipes that used linseed oil instead of tallow.

Mark Lanmon here. Whoever copied this ancient accout of grafting below is
being a help to me. I am helping a remote people group near Tibet to
learn grafting. They will not have grafting tape (or any tape) available
to them so this home made mixture and technique is more likely something
they can use. If anyone else has some advise on non-store-bought
supplies, I would be very interested. Thanks, Mark.
