Hi,
I am about to have a go at grafting what I would like to know is is it necessary to clean the tool S/S or Chinese inbetween each transfer ? if so with what ?

which tool would you recomend for first attempts.

Thanks
Colin
 
I find paintbrush much easier, and yep, quick -lipstick free - wipe on lips works well.
 
Eeugh, I tasted a bit of royal jelly last year, some I had collected for wet grafting, can't say it was a pleasant taste.
 
Thanks All,

Queen rearing is going to keep me looking young then, with all this Royal Jelly as I clean my grafting tool.

Lead and pencil spring to mind for some reason to do with Royal Jelly :laughing-smiley-004
 
Think we have left the opening topic of grafting....or maybe some need that graft!! :rules: :judge:
