Hey All:
Last night I saw a new commerical for a new product: Glad press and seal wrap. It looks like it behaves much like Parafilm does... to seal by the heat of your hand and held a large tub of fruit cocktail when knocked over... Maybe something to investigate as an Parafilm alternative...Just a thought

Hi propboy

Parafilm is pretty much non existent this side of the Pond... perhaps we should start a petition to make it available worldwide.

If this alternative works out, keep us posted. :-)

All the best

Hi Everyone
Matt or Prop Boy please let us know how this New Glad Wrap works.
Parafilm is all they say it is. But it takes a lot of pratice to cut it without scratching the plastic underneath.
Which I think would be the same problem for the Glad Wrap.
In my opinion nothing works better than per-cut masks, or the cut your self masks like Tamiya supplied with it's 1/32" scale Zero.
