Very cool... and thank you for taking the time to educate the masses in proper technique and environment. Will the seed from this graft be an F-1 hybrid?

Thanks a ton! I really needed to know the proper way to graft plants with each other for a project.

This is fascinating; I had no idea you could graft tomatoes.

What is the sterilizing liquid that the worker pours on their hands and work space?

This may sound like a stupid question but here goes, Will the new grafted plant carry the genetics of both plants in the seed of the fruit or is this just a life support temporary arrangement?

@TheGregmatusky You should expect to add about a week to your timeline for planting. It takes that long for the seedlings to heal. It's probably a little too late this year to start seeds in Pa, however. betterheirlooms website has resources for home gardeners

Home gardeners can have fun with tomato grafting on a small scale. Small quantities of rootstock seed and the special grafting clips are available at betterheirlooms website.
