<Does Parafilm actually stick to itself?
Yes, parafilm does stick to itself really well. However, for me it is very
prone to splitting after a few days as the scion begins to swell, no matter
how much stretch I leave in it. I think it gets brittle on colder mornings.
I wrap my grafts with parafilm, then wrap with splicing tape. This keeps the
graft area from drying and solves the splitting problem.
