Dean, 

Many if not most wood decay fungi are 'water molds' that need moisture and
temperature to germinate and grow.  Most latex / exterior paints are
manufactured to 'seal' things up and can increase the incidence of disease.
A WSU pathologist recommended a copper spray or adding copper to a white
wash would be better than a sealing paint. Grafters use sealants  to
encourage the scion and trunk to callus and knit together before the tissues
dry out and cease activity. Another disease management factor is if there
are a number of trees/trunks with wood decay activity in the orchard. The
more disease in the field increases risk and encourages treatment.

We have made some large cuts,
4-6" seems like some latex paint would be helpful (apples).

Dean:
I use Doc Farwell’s Seal and Heal (green) or the similar Doc Farwell’s 
Grafting Seal on cuts that
I think will not heal over within two or three years if they do not slope 
enough to shed rain over the
raised lip of new growth.  Wood rot develops on wounds that provide wet 
conditions favorable to 
decay. Large cuts made to permit grafting do not heal rapidly if there is no 
foliage feeding the cut from
above. Observe temperature limitations on the label.
