Grapevine killer?

Did I kill a hundred-year-old grapevine? Can I fix it?
I was clearing out a fence line and inadvertently chopped off two new shoots from the main trunk of an old white grapevine. The ends began dropping sap at 3-4 drops per second. I tried glueing and cauterizing with no effect.
What should I have done to stay the flow?

(Don't put tar on new green shoots.) Your vine will be fine.

It will be fine. My mom has a grapevine that she hates, so she regularly runs the whole thing down with the lawnmower and it continues to come back...
