What is parafilm?

It is a proven fast, economical covering or stopper for test tubes, beakers, vials, petri dishes, flasks and various instruments and objects with irregular surfaces.

It is an ideal shelf or tray liner to prevent slipping of bottles or instruments. It is odorless and semi-transparent.

In laboratories, Parafilm M® sheet is a thermoplastic, self-sealing film that holds moisture loss to a minimum and offers excellent barrier protection to the contents of tubes, flasks, culture tubes, etc…

1. We will use the material seen on the photo

2. There are two sticky material in Epoxy Putty. We cut 2 equal pieces

3.Then pour some powder on the place we will work. We put the pieces in this powder, and blend until the two color mix together

4. We lay the mixed putty in the powder. In this stage we had to use powder while rolling out putty. If we dont the putty will get sticky.

5. After rolling out the putty, we cut pieces. While cutting, we have to be careful. We have to be slowly. Little, soft touches. Otherwise the putty will get deformed

6. To shape the putty, use toothpick, tweezers etc. If the blanket will be wraped on the vehicle , put cling film between the vehicle and putty, give shape and color after it dried.
