Dear Mr. Nate,
Where do you get silicon tape? Does it hold up in sunlight? is it white or
black? approximate cost? What are the advantages over regular PVC electrical
tape?
Anyone ever heard of a good tape to use for grafting that will dissolve
undergound? As in root-scion grafting. I have used PVC tape before, but I had
to remember to come back later, dig around in the dirt and cut the tape off
before it girdled the plant. This is when I connected roots directly to
scions.
I would use masking tape, but I cannot pull hard on it to make up for
imperfections in my graft-carpentry. I prefer something I can pull on pretty
good!

Proper wood stock, along with the V-shaped cut, wrapped with silicon
tape will allow healing process which will allow the original and new
stock to maximize existing/new growth. I've had much success with
this.
