Just a couple more thoughts on you nightmare.
Some things you might be doing but I thought I would mention.
Clean your blade with alcohol after every cut.
From reading through the thread again I would say some of the rot has gone beyond the black oozy rot and in some areas it has gone onto a full on rot which you will need to stop.
The sections that the rot has gone in deeper than just under the skin you might need to cut it away to unaffected flesh and then dust or brush with sulfur.
The badly infected pach pieces you still might be able to use as a log if you have to cut a fair bit of one side It just depends how far you want to go trying to save it.
The cut you made under the graft if your blade wasn't clean cut it again and I would also dust the cut with sulfur.
It might also be worth cutting the worst looking monstrose pup to see how bad it is before they end up like mush as well.
I have seen rot move fast through a cutting before but that started from the cut end and I kept cutting and treating it until it dried out and healed but with yours going in from the sides it makes it a lot more difficult to deal with.
If it is dry and sunny where you are it might be worth putting them in the sun to try and dry them out
I really feel for you mate I would be devastated if this had happened to my collection.
Cheers

Thanks man. Good info. In the pach I was considering cutting all the rot away, but was a little concerned that I'd be cutting a fair chunk of the skin away. ...but at this rate it'll probably rot anyway.
With the blade, I was using box cutting blades and used a fresh one on each cut. So it was a brand new blade I used to chop off th graft. That should be ok shouldn't it?
It is a little sunny, but cool, so yeah, I'll whack 'em out in the fresh air. ...at the very least they can enjoy a beautiful day before they die.
Thanks again

You should be all good with using a new blade I am a bit anal when it comes to my blades as it so easy to transfer contaminants from one cut to another.

Yes, anal with good cause.
It baffles me how I've heard about some people who can do multiple cuts with shitty old knifes and never have any troubles. Just lucky I s'pose.

I used to just wipe my knife when I was making cuts for cuttings but when I started grafting I became more aware about the importance of being clean for every cut.
I just spray the blade with metho 70% and water 30% and make sure the blade is dry after spraying.

Spray. That's a good idea. I've just dunked it in metho in the past and it's a pain in the butt, a bit of a juggling act.

Well, the pachs and larger bridgesii seem like they're out of the woods, albeit quite scarred.
The stock of the grafted loph is looking pretty f@#ked, but the loph is doing ok (I've chopped a bunch of the pups off and plan to let them root after they callus up.)
My bigger bridg monstrose is not out of the woods yet... but it hasn't dissolved into mush, so that's a good sign I guess. I opted for not chopping the knobs off, for now. It's covered in sulfur/copper dust and tucked away in my garage.
I'll take some pics as an update tomorrow.

This thread was very hard to look at. I feel your pain big time as I've lost quite a few of my prizes babies in the past. No doubt they will come out scarred, but scarred and alive is better than rotten and dead. Best of luck to you and your collection.

That blows man!!! I think like Kartode said it could be the concentration or perhaps the surfactants. I will say that I have mixed my own neem oil preparations and the stronger one made my Loph cork up for a while, so that surfactants which make both neem oil and pyrethrins soluble are probably also dissolving the waxy cactus epidermis.

It looks like they are going to scab up so most should survive.
It is a shame that they are going to have some massive scars but at least the new pups and new growth will be normal.

Posting pictures of scabby penors really belong in another forum.
It's a shame as it's a nice plant otherwise. Glad to hear you didn't lose too many, I've often thought how they fared. Thanks for updating.
