I have used Parafilm M for 25 years...do not like the Parafilm 'grafting
tape'.
That said, I use Parafilm ONLY to seal in moisture...It does NOT provide
any significant support strength, so I always overwrap the graft union with
at least a couple of wraps of masking tape...or, more frequently, masking
tape and then a rubber band.

Many of the orchardists I know use non-breathable grafting tape with
reasonable results. I usually use Parafilm because I think it allows
the graft to breath. Is this an unnecessary reason to use Parafilm?
Other grafting tapes can also be applied easily, so why use Parafilm?
