Default Healing wounded bark on a Japanese Maple

Greetings:

Anyone care to share tips?

I'm guessing it was from a wiring scar. I tried leaving it alone and it got
bigger. I tried some Minwax since the heartwood was exposed to help the tree
while it healed, it got bigger. I now have the edges coated with vaseline to
avoid the cambium from drying out and it seems ok.

Is there anything else I can do ( or maybe NOT do?).

Many thanls for all the tips over the years,
