Thank You for sharing,

Thanks Gustavo, During this demo, i wanted to show the audience the difference ways off protecting the branch from breaking during bending. I used raffia + wire, raffia + wire +raffia and bandage + wire + tape. Bandage works very well, it is cheap and very easy and quick to apply on a branch! Not everybody is comfortable working with raffia, than bandage is a good alternative! It is handy to use during a demo when there is often to little time to apply raffia. Give it a go some time, it might be to your liking!
Hans.
