Please be careful in using the toilet ring gasket wax as a sealant. I thought it was so nice and awful easy to use so I put on 10 whip and tongue grafts 2 years ago. I had zero take and the bark above and below where the wax hit ended turning black after a couple of days. Normally on W&T grafts one obtains close to 100 % take but something in the wax must be too powerful for the bark. Maybe some other ring waxes are made of different material but test it on a tree branch before you spend time grafting with it. Ray
