AusBonsai

Hi there,

I'm chasing Grafting wax but all i can find is that no where locally sells it, i thought i'd ask here as a last resort before i buy american, online.

Either that or a substitution, it will be for Tanuki. I have steri prune but it is a thick black substance and im not sure if it washes off [not a good look for jin]

Thank you in advance.

Ive only seen the parafilm grafting tape used, but if a sealant is necessary then I'm sure wound sealant would suffice? Please correct me if Im wrong

But I did find this Australian site that sells grafting wax http://www.australianwaxco.com.au/speci ... l#grafting

Thanks Luke, i'll chase up that aussie company tonight. I had a look at the tape but it wont suit my needs, it has to be painted into the cracks between wood and tree.

cheers.

Hi Velvet
Whilst it isnt black, but rather depp purple, you may like to give Kendon Grafting Mastic BZ a go. I presume you can still buy it. Details are in this link

Greetings bonsai fans,
I have been using bees wax made soft with some tea-tree oil.
Nice colour and does not wash off.
Happy bonsai,
Bruce
