Like others have said, make sure graft and rootstock are same size, dormant, and cut at same angle. Use a VERY sharp knife and maximize the grafting surface by making a long cut with the grain. Then cut short matching back cuts into each grafting surface. This will create a pair of "keys" that lock the two pieces together when taped. Make sure that the cambium layers of each piece touch each other as much as possible to maximize the rootstock's ability to "feed" the graft. If you mess up and don't manage to cut matching surfaces, don't sweat it! Just cut the offending piece back a bit and start over. When you are happy with the match, rubber band it, tape it, and let nature do its work.
