I have been using the grey clay like material for my major scars, however, there is a lot of thought lately that treating a wound is an unnecessary process and helps little except for cosmetic appearances.

The traditional Japanese sealant that I use goes a long ways and I use it because I am not fully convinced of the train of thought that I mentioned above. Which has led me to experiment....

I have selected a couple trees for a comparison where I just use a little Chinese ink mixed with water and applied with a brush for cosmetic reasons only. So far on this side by side comparison I can discern no difference in recovery, healing, or growth between the two. (Sealed vs. unsealed)

Please take this with a grain of salt as I am only using two trees of the same species and I am lacking a control tree where I use nothing. I also have limited experience with bonsai.
