Lucky, you said use of toilet ring gasket wax was a choice, however 
two years ago I used it on 14 grafts with bad results.   Easy to put 
on and looked good but within a week the scions started to turn black 
and died.   Used it on both cleft and  whip and tongue grafts.  Zero 
take and as a rule I have had close to 100 per cent take using 
grafting compound or the yellow sealant.  Has anyone else had good 
results ?. NE Wisconsin Zone 4-5 Ray
