Been feeling a bit foolish with the grafting tape. I feel like I should be using cling wrap but haven’t given it a chance. Never using parafilm again unless it’s required in a  professional setting. Do love the ease of use, simplicity and feel of grafting tape though.

Glass dishes are an elegant solution to doing just one or two prints. I do use them occasionally for that.

the one benefit is that a roll of cling wrap will last you years and years.

Grafting tape is kinda hard to rip compared to cling at least the crap I got is.

I suspected cling would be a bit “lighter”. Interesting.

I wrap my plates in foil before putting them in my Instant Pot. They come out of the Instant Pot and go directly into the SAB. Unwrapped and then inoculized straightaway. Then to a shelf, typically stacked up on shoebox lids just for a little security and organization.

Pyrex is apparently shit now, or at least some of it is, which is why I've switched to saying "borosilicate." Because Pyrex is no longer necessarily the good borosilicate it used to be. My OLD Pyrex petris are hard as fuck to break. I dunno about all this lip about lips and whatnot. Seems to me that anyone can learn to work with anything, and then call everything else a pain in the ass to work with. Same way that I'm so dead-set on my white plastic storage lids with no gaskets, just because I've got a set of them that I bought long ago and I know how to work with them. If they all burned up in a fire, I'd have to get over it and go back to 2-piece metal lids, or the new-style storage lids with the weird little gaskety part that freaks me out.

There are these metal canisters you can buy to use for loading glass petris into an autoclave, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Just re-using heavy duty aluminum foil until it's useless for stacking plates, at which point it gets reassigned to jar-lid coverage duties before eventually retiring to the recycling bin.

Also, you CAN wrap and then oven-sterilize borosilicate petris if for whatever reason you're someone who's into sterilizing agar and THEN pouring plates from a fancy flask or whatever.

I was gifted my set of glass plates, though. And I still use a pile of little pp5 containers that I bought from the grocery store ages ago, still going strong and neatly stackable when not in use. If these glass petris hadn't fallen into my lap, it's hard to say whether I would have bought some by now. I'd like to think yes, but I'm just not on that timeline, so who knows.

My Pyrex is old, but many valid points here. :thumbup:
