Review on Parafilm JX903 Grafting Tape Clear by Vishal Geske

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is not tape, will NOT stick to itself - it cannot be used to repair the shaft. I returned it

UPDATE: After responding to my feedback from buyers, they have informed me that this parafilm adheres with hand heat by working around the graft area. It's good for vaccinations. That's not what I bought it for though (fixing a broken stem) as it would instantly tear the stem off if I continued to work on it with my hands. So for grafting it's probably fine, although I don't do grafting so I don't know. The trunk of my mango tree broke and I temporarily fixed it with duct tape thinking when this parafilm arrives I will replace the duct tape with this - that was 2 weeks ago. Parafilm arrived late so I decided to leave the tape on because the tape is still holding and this stem is even producing new leaves and growth. Now that the parafilm has arrived I've noticed that it won't stick to itself and I bought the wrong thing for the leg repair. I figured since it's used for grafting it would be good for stem recovery too - I was wrong. Some buyers note that it doesn't take root, others say yes. I think those who say it doesn't stick like I thought it would be like duct tape. GOOD NEWS I hit RETURN and they told me to just exit the article but I don't really need clear plant references. I like to see where I've tied my plants.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Some issues
