For those of you who would like to check this Parafilm out (lip
protection) it's available from
Fisher Scientific
Malvern, PA
(610) 640-7940

$20.50 plus postage for a 2" x 200' roll of Parafilm
They take Visa
They also have larger size rolls, wider, etc.

The main reason this stuff is so great is that you can make it as thick
or as thin as you like, and you cut it off the roll to fit whatever you
want. They use it to cover beakers in labs and the like. It's also
sanitary, in that after you're done playing, you toss it out. (I know
people who chew it like gum, tho...) It's also great for students with
braces. Those of you who haven't had your teeth filed might poke through
one layer, it's pretty thin, so you can either double or triple the
thickness (fold it) get your teeth filed...:)

My SO discovered it, I don't know how, but like I said before I have a roll
that has lasted me 15 years. It's bigger than the 200' roll (and 15
years ago I think I paid 15$ for it), and 4" wide.

If any of you try this stuff, please post and let us know what you think
of it.
