Will floral Parafilm work on petris?
    #14160378 - 03/21/11 05:07 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Parafilm makes floral tape that has the same qualities(breathable w/ no moisture loss) as lab Parafilm. Its even made by the same peeps. Its like 25% the price. Will it work? Has anyone tried it?

Lab parafilm is irradiated for sterilization while floral is not, that is why the price difference.  Use lab grade.

Gotcha. I wondered if it was a sterility issue. Thanks!

I wouldn't be too sure about that.  Agar plant propagation has to be very sterile as well

I dont think they intend the floral kind to be used for that. Mainly grafting and bouquet making.
