If you've never used Parafilm to seal an agar plate, chances are that you'll use too much of it. Here Dan shows how just a small strip of Parafilm is enough, and how you don't literally "wrap" the entire plate.

Really helpful. :D BTW, reason to use Parafilm is because it can exchange air but prevents contamination.

Thanks. Just what I was looking for. Don’t hold the Petri dish too tightly, they crack easily.

Can you use glad cling wrap instead? Does it breathe? I have read of many people saying you can use it.

Ohhhhhhhh that looks smooth. So glad I picked some up. Horticultural grafting tape is much cheaper and made using a fairly sterile process

I do not see a sterile process ! The tape is already contaminated with ambient contaminants, So how to apply perfectly sterile ? Perfectly sterile. because the tape is not sterile as we can see. I need an idea!

If you have cracking you can take more and stretch it over 2 to 3 times around.
