Default Grafting

Hi all,
I once watched a friend graft a black fig variety onto a green fig variety.
He used plastic cling wrap, tape, and aluminium foil. He removed a small
branch from the green fig leaving a couple of centimetres stump. He split
this down about a centimetre. Then he made a wedge of the stem to be grafted
on and pushed it down into the split. He then went to work with the above
materials, but I cannot remember in what order he used them.
I now have a green fig growing and would like to graft a black fig onto it.
Is anyone familiar with this procedure and can explain it please. My friend
is no longer available to ask.
Thanks,
Dan
