Here is how I did my grafts successfully. Hopefully these insights ring true with other's results and observations.
First off I read and re-read all of Bat cave Nates directions. I then watched his video. Without this help it would not have been possible for me. Thank you Nate!
I planted both the melons and the 'Shintosa Camelforce'(squash rootstock) on the same day. This seemed to be ideal as the Shintosa are much more vigorous and stocky than the melons. I tried some grafts a couple days after germination when there were practically no adult leaves on both the melon or the Shintosa rootstock. (I did not have as good a result at this time) I had much better success when I waited an extra 6-7 days after they came up. At this point the squash had at least quarter to half dollar sized adult leaves and the melons had adult leaves almost the size of a melon seed. cont'd
