[IBC] Cut paste
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 an
yone offer any help? My mind is going in circles (seems to be doing that more and more).

Well Sean, we're all beyond help here ;-) My mind is going in circles The fact of the matter is, everyone likes to use different method based on their own experiences. I don't use cut paste. But I use Elmer glue in some cases. shrug Do what feels right. IF nothing feels right, trial and error will teach you ;-) Nicolas http://www.bmee.net "A community that excludes even one of its members is no community at all" - Dan Wilkins "You must deal with me as I think of myself" J.

[IBC] Cut paste
----- Original Message -----
From: "Sean Nemecek" 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). Sean Nemecek ------------------ Sure. Bonsai is an aesthetic endeavor. Using cut paste gives you the best chance of a wound healing properly (read: visually pleasing) and not using cut pasted is almost always a bad idea (read: ultimately visually not pleasing). Use cut paste on all cuts larger than a pea. No confusion necessary. ;-) Kind regards, Andy Rutledge zone 8, Texas ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

[IBC] Cut paste
Sean,
Aesthetics aside, cut paste or the equivalent is critical for most large deciduous wounds. The larger the wound, the more important the sealer. Fast grow ABOVE the cut means fast healing of the wound. Slow growth ABOVE the wound may result in poor healing, even with cut paste. I prefer the kind in the small white jar that resembles modeling clay. It will last through several growing seasons and peel away from the protected area as the callous closes over. I seldom use it on conifers. Julian Adams Adams' Bonsai Lynchburg, VA |
