Old big water jugs can work good as well just have to cut the top off and use some saran wrap like plastic to trap humidity inside.
Old fish tanks/ aquariums work great as well to make bigger grafting chambers.

produce bags from groccery store.
They work the best for me as a humidity tent. they only take up as much space as the pot the graft is in. and you can place them anywhere. I always save my produce bags and I wash out and re-use yoghurt cups for starting seeds and as small pots.

Both good ideas. I especially like the produce bags idea! The main reason I don't bag my plants for humidity is because I don't like the idea of buying bags and just using them for humidity domes, but couldn't really find a good source of free baggies the appropriate size to re purpose for the application.
When I was reading your post, I was thinking how good this would be in the 'Gardening Hacks' thread from a couple months ago.

My humidity dome is a plastic "critter cage" lying on its side with the opening sealed with a clear plastic bag held in place by the snap-on lid.

I decided to hold off on grafting because I hadn't watered my plants in a while and while some people say not to water the root stock right before because pressure can push the scion off, other people are telling me that the scion and root stock should have had a drink before I begin. So I figured I would graft them a day after they've been watered. In the meantime I took a bunch of pere cuttings and they all rooted so I'm moving them to some normal potting soil. Does it matter if their root systems are small at the time of grafting? They will continue to grow anyways right? I will have about 6 peres, most of which will be only have had their roots for a couple of weeks. I have parafilm but no humidity chamber. I could use a 2 L bottle with some perlite I guess. Sorry my thoughts are all scattered. I just really want to finally have a successful graft. I am going to move my seedlings out of their tray and into my normal worm castings/limestone/perlite/gravel mixture and then plant another couple hundred seeds.

As a general rule, it's good for the peres to have a good root system when you graft. However, I won't say that hasn't stopped me from bending that rule a little bit. I've done a few on peres that haven't been rooted too long before and they turned out fine.

Dude I graft as soon as peres has a decent width on it's newer growth. I have no clue how large a root system it has or even how long the peres I use has even been rooting.
