I read of using both... by experience, I've only used vaseline on a Gingko. Has worked just fine on it. I use cut paste and Shin-Kiyonaal... the kiyonaal is the stuff that yenling is speaking of. After it is applied, you leave it alone. It hardens and becomes almost transparent. Although I have found out the hard way to not use it on my ulmus parviflora... it left the bark on the trunk with a greasy looking stain.

Cheers,
