Does anyone still make cleft grafting tools?
If not what do most people use now?

I do not use grafting wax, parafine or any thing like that. I use a grafting rubber and cover it with parafilm, it has worked for me so I have never changed.

Ginda:
I went surfing a week ago for some grafting tape and ended up buying both a pound of grafting wax and a dozen rolls of Parafilm. I used a fabric-based grafting tape last year that had way too much adhesive on it and was a nuisance to cut with a razor blade 6 weeks later.
I've got a question for the list though. Will the Parafilm stay secure to the graft if a knot is tied in it at the end, or will I need to secure the Parafilm with a rubber budding band? How should Parafilm ideally be used? And if I need to subsequently wrap or dip the graft with something in addition to the Parafilm, why bother with it at all?
