You can't get it tight enough to bud or graft with on it's own.

Unless you use chip budding.

Well, however, this the way I graft.I don't use ties, raphia or rubber bands anymore. Only parafilm. Chip budding is very quick and easy.

All I use is Parafilm, Have never had a problem with it.

I've only used buddy tape.( Have tried parafilm M, the lab version which seems a bit difficult to work with.)
When working with smaller buds on smaller stocks, just use buddytape alone.
With larger buds. especially large chip buds I use regular tape to wrap top and bottom to hold everything in place.
