I like cheap masking tape. It peels off easily. In fact most of the time
the weather does it for me.

I've been reading this with interest, as I made my
first feeble grafting attempts a couple of weeks back
(how long until I know if they took?)
As well as the rubbers, I tried some black electrical
tape, which seems to me was mentioned awhile back but
not in these recent discussions. Is this a good (hmm,
Honda civic hatchback) technique?
Also, I tried cutting my first whip-and-tougue grafts
with a razor; perhaps my scions and rootstock were too
tough, but it was impossible to get a good diagonal
cut through pencil size wood with the razor blade -
the blade isn't strong enough, and the holder got in
the way. A kitchen knife might work better.
