Same, on eureka lemon interstices from Home Depot I have > 90% take on mandarins, 100% sweet and blood oranges, 100% on Mediterranean lemons, a whopping 0% 0/8) on traditional limes, and 75% onspecialtty citrus (finger lime, orangequat, tangor and tangelos).
More than 100 grafts total, mosty veneer graft.
I spoke with Rock at ccpp because I was surprised at how dismally poor my line grafting went and he said he was unaware of any incompatibility between lime scion and lemon stock.
I did another set of grafts last week so we’ll see.

As for mangos, I haven’t tried bud grafting but July/August was lucky for me last year. >90% take on veneer grafts with scion covered with foil for 3 weeks. I did use a rubber band last year and parafilm but have transitioned to buddy tape and no rubber band this year (for citrus).
I did some mango grafting about 2 months ago but no take absolutely - it was when trees were about to go in the ground so it wasn’t a good timing for the trees in any case although the weather was warm Enough for a brief period of time.
Furthermore, for bid grafting, I believe Carlos had a video on... reverse bark grafting? I forget what he called it but he inverted the bark graft and I think the purpose was to force maturity or flowering on the rootstock or graft. Ultimately the distal/superior portion failed but I thought it was neat. Has anyone had success with this? I know I’ve seen JFs mantequilla avocado that he girdled and got to fruit early but seems like that variety is precocious.
