I see people not stretch the parafilm much sometimes, I think this can maybe smother a bit and not get the ideal air exchange.
I pre stretch out the parafilm to the point of breaking and then wrap the scion , continuing to stretch out the parafilm as much as possible. So it’s completely & tightly wrapped but easy for the buds to break through the stretched parafilm.
I prefer parafilm but like buddy tape for micro grafting.
Either way you need a very tight cambium connection . Tighter the better.
