Best grafting sealant

I’m trying to imagine what part of my post you thought was a joke. No. No jokes on that post.

Is this what you mean by flex seal paste? Robot or human?

I was replying to smsmith’s post a day ago that he said about using flex seal paste and then said just joking. Sorry if there was any confusion.

Yes that is the stuff I used but it was the white. It was all I had at the time and just used it for the ends of the scions. I don’t know how it would work to cover the whole scion because it sticks pretty good.

I have treekote but I realized after experimenting last year that plain white air dry clay with a little beeswax mixed in seemed to work a lot better. the clay degrades over time with exposure to the elements, and it “breathes” a little bit plus it’s white. visible among the branches and reflects heat. I mixed a little beeswax in by hand to try to make it softer to work with.

I am going to maybe try mixing a little treekote into the clay this year instead but I’m not sure how well that will work.

I used it at the graft connection and up at the tip of the graft- I wrapped the rest of the scion in buddy tape.
