I believe the nursery growers supply sells  it for $19.95 a roll, the place where people were buying the grafting knifes,you might want to check them out three bucks is three bucks!

I have not found a single place that would sell cheaper, specially in CA. Online with shipping costs notrh of $25 easy. Do you know which store?

I believe this is the seller you are refferig to. This guy wants $12 for shipping. Take a look at the image, I added the item to cart and look at price. If you are local and pick up for $19.95, that is a great deal for you. Unfortunately, not all folks are local and these days if you have to drive 20 miles to get the tape, it costs you $8 just in gas. food for thought.

I just bought my grafting knife from them actually.  Initial purchase invoice did show $12.52 shipping, but once order was processed, they changed shipping cost to $6.34 and refunded the difference to my PayPal within 5days.  It could be that they're over estimating for larger shipment, but it's adjusted accordingly.

[behlgarden]

Thanks good to know. But its like taking chances there. Anyway, I will arrange again if we get a group order.

[behlgarden]

All Parafilmers, you know who you are! LOL. seriously, I used to think "Buddy Tape, so what" but once I got one, OMG, what a difference! Thanks to Adam!

[Berto]

[MarinFla]

OK  Put me in for one as well.
Thanks

[behlgarden]

Counted, 2 More!

James and Max from So. Cal, last chace to grab the remaining two. If we get more, we will order 16.

[FlyingFoxFruits]

Behl,

Put me down for 2 rolls total!

SO how much will I o u total?

$45?

Thanks Boss tape man!

[behlgarden]

Counted, 1 more needed.

Adam, it costs me $18.75/roll based on 8-roll order including taxes and shipping, delivered to my door. $3.21 for shipping and $1 for box, total $22.96

Those selling commercially I believe have discounted rates. I sell stuff on Amazon and its much cheaper to ship from Amazon stamps.com, than ship as a retail consumer. so total for you would be $46 for two rolls

Behlgarden!

I can't take credit here!

The real deal knowledgeable, and skillful grafter who turned me on to this amazing product, was none other than, Ed Self.

If he says something, u better open up your ears...He's a no b.s. guy, who know the ins and the outs, and the outs and the ins of this tropical fruit stuff!

He gave me a roll of "buddy tape", that was getting down to the last 1/3 of tape...He said give it a try, its the frickin best ever...so I reluctantly started to fiddle with this (according to Ed, very expensive) and unusual tape, with strange properties, making it seem not akin to the conventional paraflim I'd been using for years.

The tape little by little, started showing me signs of superiority to parafilm...having excellent properties of strength, elasticity, and biodegradability, that turned out to be key factors for successful grafts of difficult species (and of course easy species as well)

I'm hooked now! and use my parafilm only as a back up...but one thing I cant give up, is the firm grafting tape, that is about 1/3 inch wide, clear, slightly elastic, but can be pulled tight as heck!  This is my saving grace for poor cambium contact, due to crappy cuts, or improper cambium alignment or size compatibility.

Thanks for getting us on the bandwagon Behl!  and finding a cheap source, and making this all a reality!  i was turned off by Ed telling me that he paid like $40 per roll...so I intended to keep begging him for his left overs!

I really would like to hear some more positive feedback from this new batch of grafters who are ordering this go round...

So all my peeps from coast to coast, keep me posted from post to post.

All Parafilmers, you know who you are! LOL. seriously, I used to think "Buddy Tape, so what" but once I got one, OMG, what a difference! Thanks to Adam!

Adam, on my grafts, I am using the green nurcery tie ribbon, I am wrapping it tightly at the union without making a knot, then I wrap buddy tape over it. As union pushes, the green nurcery ribbon has properties to stretch a bit. I am keeping an eye on it everyday to prevent girdling. Parafilm has disappointed me in a way that it ruined a lot of my rose grafts and other T-bud grafts as the POS cracked open and the bud dried out. I tried parafilm stretched and unstretched, same results for me. and this one is parafilm M I got from Amazon. I am happy with Buddy Tape, at least now I can blame myself if graft fails.

[emegar]

Okay, I'm willing to give 'er a try, Behl, assuming there's one more unclaimed roll.  Thanks!
