Heat-shrink tubing as wrapping for grafts?

So, has anybody got any experience or comments on this? Interesting idea. The biggest snag I can see is the heat, IIRC the tubing has to get above 100C to shrink that might be a tad warm for plant material, particulary the exposed bits of stem, you could mask those with ali foil? Check the specs of heat shrink there might "low temperature" versions about. Mechanically heatshrink isn't bad but after applying it I think I'd still bind the joint to give it proper support. The heatshrink just helping to keep the bits in the right place for you. Removal will require cutting off it won't unwrap like a binding. There isn't much if any "give" either so it might have to come off earlier than a binding would. -- Cheers Dave. |
