Cheap cellophan source

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

The cheapest wrap from the supermarket does it, when you want to 
cover gels on whatman paper for drying. For drying gels that should 
be kept transparent, we wrapped them in a special kind of cellophane 
that is offered for marmelade preservation: it is rectangular (approx 
30x30 cm) and has the brand name "deti". We obtained it from local 
houshold stores. There is a website www.deti.de , but I don't know if 
this is the manufacturer.
