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.

Parafine is the best for Grafting Fruit Trees and Rootstock. I use 1/2 inch smaler grafts and 1 inch for multiple grafts on the same branch.

works well. Expected a waxy tape but instead it was kind of like a plastic film. It doesnt stretch alot but so far, the grafting tape seems to be work fine for the number of grafts dones....about 6

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.

Works as advertised, Parafilm for grafting.

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.

Too expensive for so little tape, but this is in fact real Parafilm, not garbage saran wrap which is useless for grafting. This tape stretches and molds itself to conform to surfaces and forms a tight seal, and doesn't peel off of itself where it is wrapped over itself.

This roll of polyolefin with wax worked perfectly for my grafting every time. Very hard to find this anywhere as most places are selling saran wrap and claiming it is grafting tape. I just use this first then cover with electrical tape sticky side out so electrical tape can be removed later and grafting tape will fall off on its own as the branch grows. If the seller reads this hopefully they can get some more in stock so I can reorder.

It works well for propagation

I bought this for grafting apple and crabapple trees and it worked as well as can be expected. It was a very windy summer and this tape held all grafts together with no failures. Pros - Flexible and stretchy enough to do the job. - Held all grafts in place with winds up to 100 kph. - Didn't require extra string or sealants to hold the grafts. Cons - Seems like it could be a little tackier, but still held well once pressed together. - Price is very steep for what it is.

This is not 228,6 meters as the title suggest, it's 90 feets which equals to about 27 meters
