I think this tape idea is an old NAFEX tip.  When I was a kid I helped my dad 
when
he tried grafting w/ grafting-wax as coating, and we both said "Gotta be a 
better
way."  Somehow he learned about the 'Pomona', and this was WAY before 
internet!  If
I recall correctly, the tape was mentioned in an old article therein.  Or, 
maybe
someone at Jungs, a local nursery he bought from.

A 22' roll should do 88 grafts, not counting a few for practice.  But I use 
thinner
scionwood than most.
