I hate parafilm
    #19608066 - 02/23/14 10:53 AM (10 years, 2 days ago)

Anybody got a trick for peeling the paper off the parafilm?  I swear I sit there for like a solid minute sometimes trying to get the damn things apart.  It's such a bitch especially when I'm doin a bunch of plates...

Stretch a corner of it....the 2 will separate.

Parafilm is nothing like scotch tape.

Oh shit I think I just answered my own question.  Can I literally just wrap the dishes while the paper is still on and the process of stretching it will naturally pull the paper off?  If that's the case, call me an idiot...
(So much time wasted)

I just leave some of the backing on so it's easier to pull the parafilm off easier, I haven't ever hard trouble getting it to release from the backing. Breaking at the least convenient time while wrapping sleeves of plates is another story though

Remove the paper first, then wrap the dish.

Don't use scissors to cut it, that was the first trick anyone ever taught me in the lab.  Scissors, even really sharp ones, crush the stretch film into the paper and make it nearly impossible to pick the two apart.  Use an exacto, razor blade, or scalpel to cut it.

Not true at all.....I can make a video right now of me cutting my parafilm into usable 4" strips, with sharp fiskars.

No stretching, no tearing, no crushing......and it still works with no problems.

I've always just torn it off, a quick tear is pretty clean for me and is quick

And by this I mean the side of the parafilm the paper used to be on.. Any validity to always use that side? or should I stop giving such a fuck..

My trick is spraying it with alcohol first. It makes it essentially just fall apart. Without doing that I just end up with a torn up paper/parafilm mess and have to try again. To be honest I prefer grafting tape, worked very well for me in the past and was already the perfect size.

I used to sell veg at a farmers market next to this annoying old OCD lady who sold flowers.  She wouldn't stop telling my how she literally covers her whole body in rubbing alcohol every night... I will never get that image out of my head

C'mon, I bet you wanted to cover her body in something else. Something hand-made perhaps?
