That ugly colored ( I wouldn't call it flesh) somewhat elastic and self
adherent
bandage material is called coban. I actually tried to use it last year on a
stem
split. It didn't work. Vine splits tend to dry up and callous over. Other
than
being a acces point for disease before it does dry up it doesn't appear to
be
much of a problem. I would just put some dry captan powder on it and keep
it
dry for a couple days, then go ahead and bury it.
