    Fun fact: the “M” stands for Mounting. Parafilm was originally used to mount maps. It started getting used in the lab in the 50s

    I needed to share the joy of parafilm with my non- chemist sweetheart and you explain it so well and enthusiastically!

    You deserve way more views! I've defended my master's thesis today and your videos definitely did help me get where I am! :3

    i recently heard about parafilm. I really have multiple needs for it. I am curious if it is non-conducting of electricity or not. Also, I am wondering if you can remove parts of the film that you stuck to each other. I am wondering if it loses its stickiness or ability to seal with age. And if so, how long it would take to work before it needs to have a new parafilm applied.

      I doubt that it would conduct electricity, you can definitely remove stuck parts, but I'm not sure about aging, sorry!
