Why not use a white masking tape? Should last a year and then rots

I'm sure he'll weigh in and tell me if I'm wrong, but it seems that at some
time in the past, that Ed Fackler indicated that masking tape is what he
used on apple/pear grafts - but maybe I misunderstood.
I don't know that I'd want to depend on masking tape for nut tree grafts -
just don't think I could get enough evenly-applied pressure to ensure good
cambium contact.
