Isn't the current trend anti-fungicidal goop over paint? It's orange or some real expensive German stuff in a tube is black, if color is a priority for the homeowner.

This contract belongs to the state of landscape gardening company, but the state horticultural company has hired me because trusts me more than himself ..)) I process wounds on trees acrylic paint in two coats (the interval of about 30 seconds), and in my experience shows that the most effective and cheapest method. I choose black color, because the sun it generates more heat, which helps speed the healing of wounds. The photo wound to ash-tree.
Was 20 cm in diameter, in March 2012, there are now 10 cm in diameter. This year, it almost disappears without a trace ...

There's a little cracking, which increases the infection/dysfunction court, but cracks would probably be much worse if not painted. Nice donut forming closure.
Stand tall, Maximalist! Too many arborists are minimalists when it comes to resisting industry dogma.

So, we're supposed to paint cuts?

It depends on the objective, etc. imo we're not supposed to not paint them ever. "Rules are too absolute for Mother Nature" A. Shigo
Just out of curiosity, how can you be sure about that?

Do not paint wounds.
Do not remove collars."

My practice for 26 years, says that you can be absolutely sure. I always to monitor the results of my work.
Coming back to see how trees react after a pruning job is an invaluable practice and the best way to learn about them.
My experience with trees is far shorter than yours.
I've never painted wounds after a cut and never had a problem.
I firmly believe that paint is of no help in the (separated) processes of compartmentalization on the inside and of wound closure on the outside.
Like you and Treelooker say there are a few cases where paint can help.
I would just like to understand how.(not trying to prove I'm right nor you're wrong, just a sincere will to learn)

This!
Andrew, in 26 years, have you ever NOT painted cuts and had problems with them? I contend that painting does nothing but maybe make the cut look better.

Hawthorne reduction and clean I performed last week. Believe it or not it took me 11 hrs between the chipping and pruning.
