I wondered if you might find this video by @applenut inspiring - maybe get some ideas from it?

Bench Grafting Questions

39th, I’m glad you mentioned that a whip and tongue graft is superior to grafts made with the tool and will have a higher take rate. I tried grafting for the first time last spring using the tool, and only one of 22 grafts took. I also didn’t seal the tips with wax, just imitating what I saw on a video where the guy just wrapped the plastic ribbon around the graft. This spring I plan to try with scions from my own trees plus a few new ones from GRIN not using the tool.
