Default Clingfilm for grafting?

I have some grafting to do. Would clingfilm be a suitable material for
wrapping the grafts? It's available in the shops, though in rather
wide rolls, really I would prefer a roll about 3" wide, the material I
want to graft is quite small. I can't FORESEE any problems, but it's a
messy world and there may be problems.

We were taught to use cling film for fruit grafting in our RHS course

I thought it was a great original idea. A pity I had to rediscover it
for myself. Everybody seems to have their own favourite, Parafilm,
insulating tape.....
