I don't know, but I have grafted in the past. I have a damaged Doug Fir and plan to trim the damaged bark in the shape of a vertical eye in case there are insects under the torn bark [only remove what is necessary].
I'll then take bark from another Doug Fir that I'll be cutting down. Clean only the old wound with mild soap and water-add no sealants etc- and then apply the freshly, unwashed tree bark to the wound and wrap with Duct Tape. Check it every so often and don't let the tape remain more than 8-12 weeks. By then I am hoping the new bark is accepted by the damaged tree.
No, using bark from another tree to repair bark damage is not recommended. It could introduce pathogens or pests to the damaged tree and may not effectively promote healing. It's best to allow the tree's natural healing processes to take place.
