Parafilm tearing on its own? +pic
    #22342378 - 10/06/15 07:34 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Why is my parafilm tearing on its own. Am I stretching it too much? Yesterday I had to change all the parafilm of all my plates. Now this morning they are all torn again. I searched the forum also and found a post made by someone with the same problem and they told him that his parafilm is too old. Problem is I bought mine this week

There should be a manufacture date on the box. Usually is. Maybe it sat on a supplier's shelf too long. My parafilm doesn't do that.

I shall see the minute I get home from work. Ill contact the seller if its indeed too old. How old would you say it needs to be to become too old?

Honestly, my parafilm is at least 5 years old and still works. But it's possible that storage was also not ideal or that the vendor didn't supply you with the real thing.

Stretching it too thin. Use about 5" per plate. If you stack them it helps tear it as well.

I keep my Parafilm roll in a ziplock ever since I read a post by RR about how this helps prevent it from drying out over time.

I am thinking this roll is crap.

I tried using 3 squares which is about half the circumference of my plate and a few hours later it tore again.I tried it one last time just now. Ill check it tommorow and if it is torn again ill contact the seller. Even 3 squares seems a bit overkill imo ive seen this vid on youtube where this guy stretched his parafilm waaay more than I am now.

I have the 250ft boxed roll.  I don't have a date of manufacture visible on it anywhere I can see.

Same as me. I got that box also.

I have just read that some people stretch the parafilm first and then they let it rest a sec then proceed to wrap around the plate. Anyone else does this successfully?

I swear to god I had to do more research on parafilm than any individual shroom tek so far

I wrap mine just like this guy on Youtube.

I've had the parafilm snap instantly sometimes, if I stretch it too much.  But other than that, no problems.

i keep mine in the box it came in, and then in a gallon zip lock bag.
the end can dry out and snap easy.

2.5 squares will wrap a plate twice over easily.  cut that in half length wise, and u can now wrap two plates twice over :thumbup:

Tried this and it failed too I was like wtf??? Since it sticks to itself it tore in the same places on both layers. Its like it shrinks. I found it best if I pre stretched the parafilm first, let it rest for a few seconds and then put it on plate. It still splits but not so much. Hopefully I wont have to keep changing them for too long because as I said they are sending me a newer roll because the one they gave me was a few months old he said

are u using those plates with rigid teeth on the outside?  they are usually sold ten per sleeve, and have a tiny platform for lid to rest on?  those tear para easily IME.

re wrapping plates sounds like a PITA dude.  hopefully ur new roll will not be as dried up.

i don't pre stretch it or anything.  my buddy takes 2 squares, unwraps the back, fold it in half, and wraps around once (so it is still double wrapped).  that helps prevent snapping a lot, but i don't do it cause then u use almost double the roll for half the plates.

u can use saran or glad wrap too.  i think one is better than the other, but not sure which, its been a while.

I am using glass petris from steriplan. Yes I have heard of folding it in half but I also think this is a waste. Apart from a whole roll costing like 50 euro with post I think its unnecessary cuz it seals really well. When I first left them in my terrarium with heater there were tiny droplets of condensation all around the film so yea its a pretty good investment imo
