You can use one half of a pill capsule. You can order a huge bag of these or even better empty out a vitamin capsule. It makes lining up the seedling and keeping it there very easy, also spreads out the downward pressure you put on the seedling (I use a roll of gauze).

This is awesome! Really great idea, seems like enough pressure but not going to rot like saran wrap. Thanks for sharing, going to give it a go!!
This is awesome! Never seen it before. I imagine certain gel caps may get stuck to the seedling and folks inadvertently degrafting while trying to remove the cap!

Well played! That’s ingenuity.
Pere-props-is!
Wow what a great idea
Looks like a great idea. Let us know the results it produces for you.

What type of tape is that?
I’ve done this too! But I take the small part of the capsule, and superglue it to the other side of the large piece, and then place a weight in it, like a small rock or something….
Of course like the original poster said, this is not my idea…saw it in a post.
But it works great, and I have never had the capsule stick to the scion.
