Saran Wrap Vs. Parafilm
    #22370811 - 10/12/15 09:17 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I know many people here use saran wrap instead of parafilm.  I have been using para film for awhile now.  I have noticed a lot of things that I do not like about parafilm.  For those of you who use saran wrap for your agar dishes, how do you use it?  Do you cut the roll into smaller sections?  Do you wrap the entire plate or just the outside edges? Do you tape it down to your dishes or does the saran wrap cling well enough on it's own? I would love to hear your techniques.  Please explain it to me.

Thanks,
Willy

I use parafilm. Don't mind it but I'm all for saving a buck. I'll probably try saran wrap when my parafilm runs out.

Glad cling wrap cut into 1" roll. Just wrap the sides of the plate. It sticks to itself pretty well.





It's kinda hard to see.

I do the same as grey. I unwrap them when the time comes.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I have used seran wrap, glad press and seal, and parafilm. I measured 2 inches in and cut the end of the tubes off with a razor blade. Seran wrap did not go well for me at all. It wouldn't stick and I ended up flinging my transferred wedges all over the place. Press n' seal has worked out fairly well, but I think I am most comfortable with parafilm.

Saran wrap doesn't allow exchange. Cling wrap does, not sure what else.

Cool, and thank you to everyone who took the time to reply.  I was thinking about giving saran wrap a try (obviously from the post title :ashamed:) but I am glad I posted this.    Glad Cling Wrap it will be.

Thank you all:hatsoff:,

Willy

I'm curious how my plates grew so well if there was no exchange? Wouldn't they have been slow to grow or stall at some point?

Yes. Glad cling wrap is what you want. They are not all the same.

With enough air space you don't need exchange, you must have had enough.
