I was looking in the archives to find some guidance about the use of cut
paste. I just finished a trunk chop and decided not to use any paste or
sealer. After reading the archives I am confused. There seem to be
contradictory schools of thought. Can anyone offer any help? My mind is
going in circles (seems to be doing that more and more).

BTW, probably the most important factor in wounds healing appropriately
(aesthetically pleasing) is the way the wound is treated by the blade. A
wound that is cleaned up with a razor sharp blade so that every surface is
very, very smooth will nearly always heal just fine. Any wound that is
somewhat less (even a little less) perfectly dressed will nearly always have
a healing problem (and be aesthetically unpleasant). Fix your wounds right
with the blade and the cut paste will help - but no amount of cut paste will
help a poorly cut wound.

kind regards,
