Grafting Small Cuts

• 1). Secure the graft and scions in final position before preparing the grafting wax.
  
  
• 2). Melt the grafting wax in a double boiler over low heat until it is just liquid but not scorching hot.
  
  
• 3). Paint the melted grafting wax all over every cut edge of the graft with a new clean paintbrush used only for grafting wax (you do not want any other chemicals mixed in here). Paint the wax on in successive layers, allowing the wax to become semisolid on the graft site between coats.
  
  

Grafting Large Cuts

• 1). Secure the graft and scions in final position before preparing the grafting wax.
  
  
• 2). Hold and mold the grafting wax in your hands to soften until pliable. Form into thin sheets or strings. Lay these on wax paper or parchment in the sun to further soften the wax.
  
  
• 3). Apply the sheets of softened wax to your grafts and press to seal.
