I’ve had a roll of parafilm going on 10 years but I’m not growing a mountain either. Looks to be about halfway through. I love those holy grail plates, no wrapping required.

Guys......:lolsy:

It stretches and breaks immediately. You don't cut length. If forms a great seal, plates last forever. It's invisible, not ugly. It's fast as fuck, not slow.

I've done both, Saran wins in all departments. Not to mention cost.

But yeah, whatever at the same time lol.

Well, i'm certainly not here to get all the noobs to worship me and then rewrite everyone's teks with my name on them like some kind of megalomaniac.

I wonder if places like Aloha or Penn State Mycology use saran wrap for anything more then their sammiches?

#StickWithWhatWerx

I just happen to prefer actual lab supplies... i guess that means everyone is supposed to hate me, now. :lol:

Excuse me for growing a shit ton of mushies... :rockon:

Well I used saran and it worked pretty great for me

At first, seeing that parafilm was the "standard" I really thought that I was cutting corners by not getting some and I thought of it as a short term solution

But saran does the job damn well and is a lot cheaper than parafilm + you can find it locally in pretty much any store. Even when I wrapped my first plates ever I found it to be extremely easy to use.

Now I am not even considering trying parafilm

I've used saran wrap and i dont prefer it over parafilm and anyone who is saying that saran wrap is cheaper in the long run clearly doesnt know how to use parafilm properly.

Like I said, one roll has lasted me 10 plus years. And it’s only halfway though. And I’ve been growing the entire time.

For $3-4 you get a roll 200' long. I get 14 rolls per roll which gets you 2,800' of wrap for the price of a cheap burger. I haven't looked lately but I'm sure if you buy over half a mile of para it's expensive. Plus the cling wrap stretches a bit to boot while applying.🤷

Let me be clear... i'm not saying that saran wrap doesnt work for plates. It does. I just think it sucks for plates and that parafilm is easier, more secure and cheaper in the long run.

#RealLabSupplies

And saran wrap might stretch a tad but not like parafilm.

Now you're just making stuff up. It's literally not cheaper at all ever. You don't lose cultures with either kind of wrap lol.

Anyone who's actually used both will have a chuckle at this thread.

I use industrial shrink wrap rolls like they use to wrap boxes on pallets in warehouses. Slice them into smaller rolls with a bandsaw. There should still be some left for my great grandkids. :lmafo:

Seriously though parafilm & saran wrap both work. There are pros & cons to both & people have different preferences. Why are we pushing which wrap is "better"? Just find what works for you & roll with it.

I agree. It's annoying that some people are making stuff up to downplay a good, cheap and easily obtainable solution. Just because it's not poundsignlabmaterial

#StickWithWhatWerx <- i've been saying this.

I have no idea why which is better is such a heated discusstion. All i've really said is that in my shitty opinion, i think saran wrap is better suited for the kitchen and not the lab. But that's just what i think and lets be honest, nobody really cares what i think...

And i'm totally cool with it... :cool:

And gotta say... not making anything up, either.

Not sure why you're quoting me to say you "agree" then adding a dumbass comment perpetuating this bullshit arguement.

I'm totally with you on that. I'm glad we all agree to just use cling wraps.
