I’m really happy with the brand I use linked on the first page. Very fine and breaks down easy with the light boil

Yep EZPZ
I don't think I will never go back. It makes for such smooth transfers with as few movements as possible. I can get such small narrow selections of myc in a very quick/precise way, biopsy to the next plate in a single motion.
It's been a dream. You and your leather punch was what got my wheels turning.

Just picked up some of the LME and food coloring you use D3. I just hope my Agar is up to snuff or I'll need to swap that out too. I've been using Now Foods Brand.
I'm excited to get some beautiful plates going!
I also grabbed some 1/4" brass tubing to make a biopsy tool. I looked into the leather stamp and didn't like the idea of how hot it would get. The brass tubing was cheaper and I'm handy so I figured I can make a nice handle for it.

Many thanks D3, I love it. What sort of butane canisters does it use?

The refill cans you can get at any smoke shop. Just the standard butane lighter refill tips. Check ebay there might be one cheaper there I just sent the first link that popped up. Next to my flowhood it’s my second favorite myco toy.
It’s nice because you can turn it on and off one handed, fuel burns clean and doesn’t leave soot and the angle is perfect. It doesn’t waste much fuel because you’re easily able to turn it off and on between each sterilization.

Awesome. Now that I'm looking at it a little more I realize you just refill the canister on the bottom. Before I thought I took some sort of cartridge or something.
Another question for you D3, do you use parafilm to seal your dishes? I've been using glad cling wrap forrrever and have been wondering about parafilm lately.

I too am a slave to the cling wrap. It's so cheap though and lasts a long time.

Exactly. I also find the little rolls super easy to use. I've heard mixed reports on parafilm, but it does make the plates look oh so pretty. I'll most likely stick with cling wrap as that's what I'm used to. But lets just say... I'm parafilm curious.

Oh god I hate cling wrap, no matter how I nice I try to cut it hangs up constantly... hell I hate it in the kitchen even.
I don’t use the lab grade parafilm, this nursery grade works just fine, already the perfect width so not cutting. Just wrap n stretch and tear. Never had a contam from it

It was my understanding with the lab grade Parafilm you need to cut a piece for each plate you want to wrap. You're saying you don't need to do this with the nursery grade stuff? Sounds like the best of both worlds! I really like how the roll works with the cling wrap, I just anchor one end with a finger wrap the plate a few times and tear it off. Sounds like what you're describing!
How long does one of those boxes last you? Based on 6" per plate I'm guessing around 2 cases of petris?

Where are you sourcing your petris from? I'm looking for a good price/source for cases and cant really find a case for under 120, let alone 90.

Ill give those a shot when I make an order... i usually went from carolina scientific and their falcon plates(ayyy username OP), but $50 isn't an insignificant difference

I was able to pick up some of the Celltreat with the grip rings on Amazon. They said they'd ship in 1-3 weeks but ended up shipping the next day. The case was $110 shipped.
Was just looking at that parafilm on Amazon too... for some reason they can't ship to my location. WTF??

That’s weird.. can’t imagine that’s a locationally restricted item.
