I know I’ve heard of this technique just not sure where to find it again to reference. I’ve got a big ugly scar that will be slightly visible from the front of this tree. Is it as simple as cutting back the scar and using wound seal to glue pieces of bark over the area to camouflage it?

Gorilla glue (external clear) also does the trick. Just need a dab though - it expands quite a bit.
