ParafilmM JX903 Parafilm Grafting Tape, 90' Roll Clear, 1/2" Tape

Seems to be the real deal. I'm very familiar with parafilm M, and this has the right feel and stretch. Definitely not cling-film lookalike, like a very plasticky "grafting tape" I got last year. I was a little hesitant, but I'm happy with the purchase. A little more width (3/4" maybe?) would have been nice, but I'm not desperate enough to shell out for full width lab parafilm. Good deal, overall.

Have purchased twice, works great for grafting..

Wrapping agar plates and the stuff don’t semf adhere but I don’t know what I’m doing. With heat it works kinda maybe you have better luck myself I’m going back to adhesive micropore tape

This is excellent grafting tape. Some practice to stretch it enough to stick to itself without breaking but it breathes, so you dont get mold under it like the saran garbage.

I don't know if all my grafts will take but I used this to graft apple scions onto rootstock and found it easy to use. You'll have to make a decision how far up the scion to wrap. I did only a few inches on most and I think I did 5 or so. I ordered scions by mail, so some were off on the size I needed. The ones that match size closest seem like they are going to take - at least one has for sure. I used some flagging tape on the outside of this to hold it together more securely. I'm not sure if it was required or not but it felt like that held better.By what I read, the scion shoots will grow right through this tape, but I will likely remove this soon on the scions that look like they took. I have plenty left to do many more cuttings. If you are new to grafting, I highly recommend this.

UPDATE: since my review buyers responded to let me know that this parafilm adheres with heat of hands working it around the graft area. That is good for grafting. However, for what I bought it for it's not (fixing broken stem) because it would rip the stem right off if I was to keep working it with my hands. So for grafting probably it is good although I don't do grafting so I don't know.My mango tree stem broke and I repaired it temporarily with scotch tape thinking when this parafilm arrived I'd replace the tape with this--that was 2 weeks ago. Parafilm arrived late and so I decided to leave scotch tape on because scotch tape is still holding and that stem is even producing new leaves and growth. Now that the parafilm arrived I notice it doesn't adhere to itself, and I bought the wrong thing for stem repair. I was thinking since it was used for grafting that it would also be good for stem repair--I was wrong.Some buyers note it doesn't adhere, others say it does. I assume those that say it doesn't adhere are like I was thinking it would be like tape. GOOD NEWS I clicked on RETURN and it said to just keep the product, however, I haven't much use for clear PLANT TIES I prefer to see where I've tied my plants.

This is fine but I’ll never order it again. It doesn’t stretch very much before snapping, it doesn’t stick to the Petri dish well and it doesn’t even stick to itself very well. Pretty disappointed.

Good tape
