Just look at the first post in this thread, it tells you how to make wheatpaste, and no, it wont go soft in the rain.... Just stop asking questions and go do it man
So I did some exploring yesterday and found this sweet abandoned building with shit tons of wall space, and suprisingly theres no graffiti. Perfect spot for a mural/callage piece. Pics coming soon.
ahha yea i modded teh whole thing this is it now View attachment 396925 i chaged the skull cuz it looked too much lik job for a cowboy, and i changed the letters. hah i have no clue what the top says, but i typed in lasek in this wierd font, and thts wat cam out haha
im new 2 BS but wouldnt it just be alot easier 2 get some spray adhesive?cuase itl just be like carrying a can a paint
Yeah, Ive used spray adhesive before, but if your gonna get some, get 3m, the good shit. Not as good as wheatepasting, but better then most aerosal adhesives. Be sure to clear coat your poster with valspar or krylon clear coat, since you dont have the layer of paste to cover your poster.
I have never done wheatpastes so I have few questions.. Will that wheatpaste mixture smell after?(that flour and water stuff) Just want to know because if my furigirator is going to smell like shit, then my parents are going to kill me. I have also heard that putting sugar in your mixture makes it stick more and then its harder to get the poster down, is it true? And do the overpainter phonebook pages work fine? Or are they just waste of time? (holy shit, I made it rhyme)
It will smell after 1 or 2 days if you refrigerate it. I found it to smell kind of like semen or rotten eggs. Plus it becomes useless after a day. and Yes, I found if you add about a handful of suger to the paste WHILE your mixing it, it becomes alot more stickier. ALot of these questions are repeated back in the earlier thread, so just read through the pages before you start asking, you will be suprised how many of your questions will be answered
I like it. If its computer printed, it probably wont last long in the sun/elements, so make sure you double up on layers over the top. btw, if your going to be doing pastes that small, an easier way to put em up is to just buy sticker paper( staples-staples specialty sticker paper-$7) and just make it a sticker .
its a damn good start!!! and i just shove the 100 packs of large size avery label paper under my sweatshirt. lasts a very long time and my staples down the street from my house has no sensors so free printer ink!! well free everything in the store! and they leave 24 count prismas
nah is a little bigger than a page, just the bricks are huge. but thanks, and yah theyre printed out, what do u mean double layer it?
