TEAM CLINGWRAP MANIFESTO * 6
    #28508088 - 10/17/23 12:40 PM (3 months, 9 days ago)

🅃 🄴 🄰 🄼    🄲 🄻 🄸 🄽 🄶 🅆 🅁 🄰 🄿 Manifesto

A spectre is haunting The Cultivation community — the spectre of Parafilm and other undignified wrapping methods. All the powers of old Shroomery have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: TC's and Mods, Tribe members and Supporters, Noobs and Reddit growers.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as noobs by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of clingwrapism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact:

I. Clingwrapping is already acknowledged by all Cultivation powers to be itself a power.

II. It is high time that Clingwrappers should openly, in the face of the whole cultivation community, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Clingwrapism with a manifesto of the party itself.


To this end, Clinigwrappers of various nationalities have assembled world-wide and sketched the following manifesto, to be published:

1. Only devilworshipers, vogons and mark zuckerberg use parafilm.
2. Only reddit growers use electrical tape.
3. Only those who do not love themselves use ziplock bags.
4. Only the lazy use grafting tape.
5. Only the proud and dignified cultivators who love themselves use CLINGWRAP.

At least you're forthcoming about it. I respect that. No truthfully, I think grafting tape is the only acceptable replacement but above all else, I am an uncommonly cheap man.

After a couple of decades of using it (got my first roll in 1999) and trying everything else under the sun, I still use parafilm and find it to be far more useful than any other wrapping material.

I use cling if I run out of parafilm. It's good to know how to use alternatives.

For anyone that loves cling wrap but hates the difficulty and safety concerns of cutting through the roll, I have your solution. The PVC Pipe cutter. It cuts through the roll and leaves a smooth clean cut. It's easy, it's safe, relativly inexpensive and you get a clean cut edge.

A sharp ratchet lopper does the trick as well if you put a piece of cardboard between the roll and the serrated side.




Not using much cling anymore since I swapped lab petri dishes for condiment no pours but I still use it for media bottles to keep the neck clean. What can I say....I like cheap. Especially for one use only applications.

Imma officially be a fence sitter in this war. Parafilm is much more fun and satisfying to work with, but also more costly and tedious. Clingwrap is cheap af and a very easy to work with but is boring as a ham sandwich. I'm gonna play both sides, I can't lose

I don't like either. And here I will say my peace.

Parafilm
- Useless wax sheet you need to pull off
- Wrapping a dish with Parafilm and it ripping because you pulled just a little too long launching the newly placed wedge
- Expensive

Clingwrap
- Feel the need to wrap the plate 3X as much
- The bond between the Clingwrap isn't as strong and starts to unravel
- Have to use a special tool to cut the tubes into useable sized rolls

Bonus: Micropore tape
- Cmon now...


With all that said . . . I choose Parafilm. Probably because I am more used to working with it. I would GLADLY give it up if someone can recommend me the best brand of Clingwrap.

My hands just clinched and groaned thinking of unwrapping parafilm fourteen-bazillion times. The struggle to get that FUCKING BACKING off is real! NOPE! NO MORE. I wonder how well my rolls of parafilm burn or what other uses I can find for them...but in all seriousness I just can't fucking work with parafilm. I don't care how proper it is -- I've done it the right way, the wrong way, and the IDGAF way -- cling is king. It's quick. It's easy. It's cheap. My hands thank me. It doesn't harsh my mellow. I can wrap one plate, two plates, ten plates.... it doesn't SNAP. (HOW FUCKING USEFUL IS A WRAPPING THAT SNAPS LIKE THAT -- WHY -- WHY -- *okay short break for the history of parafilm*:

I've used parafilm before. I'll probably never use it again unless I have to go back to college and they make me. No. Cling forever.

Just my 2cents.

They're both perfectly reasonable to use, so why hate on either?

well first of all I only wrap just over once around. bod taught me to go twice but I stopped doing that years ago with zero negative impact.

I have never had an issue with it starting to unravel. In fact it's quite the opposite sometimes I can't find the end to unwrap.

Maybe it works better in dry climate? I'm not sure but I hope everyone realizes I only posted this as an opportunity to talk shit to each other and have a little fun.  I am in full support of whatever works best for everyone.  To be honest, even electrical tape I feel like is a pretty solid idea. It's just expensive and seems like a waste of electrical tape.

I got my pipe cutter on Amazon I think for like $12 by the way. For nine previous years I was using a very sharp bread knife which also works fine.  At my old house we had a bandsaw and that was brilliant.

My favorite is clingwrap "press & seal" ™️ I do emplore
you to try it.  In my experience some people just sort of suck at wrapping.  It won't adhere correctly if there isn't some tension on it.  most people hold the roll wrong. Yes there's a way to do it and away not to do it.  Unlike toilet paper, the direction matters.  Ive done a lot of plumbing and applying teflan tape is identical. 

I have heard pvc grafting tape works great and I will be honest and admit that I have been tempted to do this.

parafilm is great don't get me wrong.  It's just too slow and way too expensive at my volume.

Heres the way to wrap. I hereby issue an open challenge to anyone who can wrap faster than I can with any method they want. Willing to put money it.
I made this gif wrapping twice around which i no longer do.  I think I can wrap ten plates faster than anyone using any other method.

I haven't done all that much wrapping period, but what I hated about clingwrap is that the difference between stretching and breaking is really small.

I watched a video where a guy was testing out the "polyfilm" from Microppose.  It looks like clingwrap, but it stretches a lot more.  Less than parafilm, but more than clingwrap.  I might get a roll when I finally order some PP petris from them.

nice gif (pronounced like the g in garage)

If you live in a dry place, be warned that pvc grafting tape has a short shelf life. Especially once it is wrapped on a plate. The tape eventually cracks on all of my old plates kept for pins. Never have that problem with clingwrap. I have found years old cling wrapped plates that still had condensation. Not so with grafting tape.

Never used REAL parafilm, though. So can't get too shirty about it.

For anyone that loves cling wrap but hates the difficulty and safety concerns of cutting through the roll, I have your solution. The PVC Pipe cutter. It cuts through the roll and leaves a smooth clean cut. It's easy, it's safe, relativly inexpensive and you get a clean cut edge.





Good lookin, will be much easier to cut now!
Thanks a ton.

Parafilm separates the men from the boys. If you tear your parafilm you either lack finesse or are to goddamn strong for your own good. It's an artform more than a science. A couple years back I think it was Pasty that said he could double wrap a plate with one square of parafilm. Now that's a panty dropper.

But then you try clingwrap and realize you can wrap super fast for cheap and then you do that.

That's kinda my experience

Fun fact about parafilm. If you chew a piece of parafilm you will salivate prodigiously. When we would do Lewis secretor status and needed a patient to produce spit we’d have them chew a piece.
Try it. Clingwrap people should remember to to remove the paper backing. Parafilm users know better.

What about the readily available mashup between cling wrap and parafilm…

Glad Press N Seal:




ETA: the best brand of clear, standard cling wrap is 1000% stretch-tite if you say any other brand, you’ve either never used it or have never worked in F&B/food industry.

The box looks like this:


If you live in the US, are familiar, and are already nodding, you’ve probably had the same gigantic roll purchased at Costco sometime around 2000-2005.

It is known.

Have you ever chewed on parafilm? Its the best. I'll give it that. Don't get me wrong it has its uses for sure. Just not in my lab. Stipe endorses it along with his gold-plated FFU and thats fine. I respect the man deeply but I recognize that we are not cut from the same cloth.

It's not all about speed.  It's about quality.  Parafilm also has a lower water vapor transmission rate, so it will help your plates avoid drying out.

:teabird:

I have some stretch wrap I want to cut up and try.  I think it will seal a little better than that loose as a goose wrapping you did with cling wrap.

Argh! I just unwrapped a couple dozen plates to clean and reuse them. I was thinking "man, the cling wrap is so tight and clean looking, I should take a picture" But I didn't.... If you're wrapping with cling wrap correctly it's tight and clings to the plate and itself. If it's "loose as a goose" it's your technique not the cling wrap.

Here ya go... Nothing loosy goosy here.


And here's a couple Nat pins from that plate



I did take a picture of the stacks of plates I cleaned.



One last thing. Anyone on team parafilm.... Have you ever tried unwrapping a plate you've left for several months? That stuff turns into glue.

For anyone that loves cling wrap but hates the difficulty and safety concerns of cutting through the roll, I have your solution. The PVC Pipe cutter. It cuts through the roll and leaves a smooth clean cut. It's easy, it's safe, relativly inexpensive and you get a clean cut edge.





Sounds very good, but I don't have this device at the moment. I'm going to try slicing the wrap roll with a sharp blade cutter knife, slowly pushing on the roll.
It might take some time, but I believe it's possible to do with a brand new blade.

breadknife is maybe safer? or perhaps a hacksaw? i always used a breadknife and lots of elbow grease.

I've had zero issues with a long utility knife, pressure, and rolling the clingwrap back and forth on a table.  Rolling the clingwrap while pressing down creates a straight cut. Never have I felt the need to buy anything to cut my clingwrap. :shrug:

Honestly it is probably one of the safest ways to cut clingwrap in my opinion. The blade is always facing down towards the table and you aren't making any sawing motions or anything. I'll try to remember to take a video next time.

I found the technique from some post on here though.

:whathesaid:
I've already done it! It went even much easier than I expected!
I extended the blade about 5 cm from the knife tip and started to push it down on the roll, holding the roll with the second hand on the table. I had a silicon mat on the table to prevent sliding. The cut part was in the air above the table edge.

The new sharp blade cuts the roll like butter! I'd say, it's even fascinating how easy and fast it happened. The whole process took me about 1 minute, I just pushed the blade down and it slowly cut the roll.
Very accurate and straight cut. :thumbup: :smirk:

My only issue with cling wrap is cutting off for my myco work ruins the rest of the roll. Most of the bowls I cover barely cover with full width. Therefore I prefer to use Microppose

I think 10 rolls of clingwrap are way cheaper then 1 roll of parafilm, why don't you buy a roll for your bowls and a roll for your petris? :shrug:

Here are the results of today's clingwrap roll slicing.
I tried slightly different widths, 3cm and 3.5cm, and in the picture, I signed the rolls according to the width of the foil.
I'm quite satisfied with the slicing results! The only thing left to do is to try them out in action :laugh:

I've never used actual cling wrap. But I bought a roll of parafilm, I drank the cool aid. Not long later I was placing an order to microppose, saw their film and said "I've got to try something else, this parafilm keeps breaking, plates sticking together, you know the routine. So yea, I'll use parafilm, when I'm out of anything else.😏
