Thanks. That's possibly not a bad idea, although it'd be very fiddly given the amount of growth still on the tail.

Just read your article and clicked through to some other articles on using raffia and now I feel like a fool: I have never wet the raffia before winding it around the trees. Never seen anyone using raffia here in Oz wet it either, never read to do that in a single book that says 'use raffia'! I hope its holding tight under the rubber.
