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

We have a small orchard, only 25 trees, and there are two kinds of apples, out of the 6 variety’s we have, that we really love. Enter the fun science of grafting. I’ve found that successful grafting requires some good, proven techniques and materials. This paraffin wrap works. It just does. It holds tight on the bud graft, it is waterproof, it stretches and conforms to irregularities on the branch your grating to and sticks to itself when you tear or cut it. Can’t go wrong. Give this a try and your odds of success will increase. Happy grafting!

This is not tape. This is thin and while many use it for plant grafting, I used it to temporarily seal my petri dishes. It's essentially high quality thicker saran wrap, it sticks to itself well while using no adhesive. This makes for clean and easy removal, plus it stretches so you can easily determine the amount of force you want on the objects you are mending together.

This tape is stretchy but has very low tensile strength and no stickiness to it at all. I'm using it to wrap around petri dishes and it does work, but not as well as tape made for petri dishes. This is grafting tape and will do fine for grafting.

Works as advertised, Parafilm for grafting.

This product seems legit and works well if you know what you are doing. It won't sick to itself unless you stretch it out like you are supposed to. Hopefully it will give my figs a chance to root before they dry out.

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.

I'm new to grafting, so it took a few tries to get used to how much this tape stretches before breaking (actually quite a bit). Once I was used to working with it, it's easy. I found it's easier to work with if you warm the tape up a little in your hands before using, especially on cold spring mornings.

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.
