i've been thinking about getting into wheat pasting and i was wondering if there is a certain type of paper you use for it and if there is any waterproof kind since it rains a lot here

Rogue · Jul 19, 2007

The thinner thetter, but any paper will work.

toke_wdc · Jul 19, 2007

and i forgot, is all purpose flour the same stuff as wheat flour?

Rogue · Jul 19, 2007

No, you need all purpose

Hobby store. Craft or poster paper. comes in a roll. If you want it as big as the side of your house, you just put large strips next to eachother.

I've been asked for paste recipes so many times.. I'll post it here and if anybody else asks me, I can just refer them back to this.

Wheatepaste cooking isn't an exact recipe, it's more just paying attention to what you're doing. I don't have exact measurements, because I don't use them. I just know what consistancy I want to keep it at from experience and practice, and I continually add to the pot as I cook to keep it right and make a big ass muthafockin batch. Afterall, leftovers can be used a week later if kept in the fridge.

Here's how it's done..

Start with a couple cups of flour. I use plain ass white flour.
Add water and mix it up so it's super runny.
Cook it at a medium heat, maybe a touch under medium.
CONTINUALLY STIR WITH WISK!!! Don't leave it for more than a minute without stirring. It will clump and burn..........
Add a tablespoon of sugar. Don't overdue the sugar... Forreals.
Not enough paste? add more flour.
Too thick? Add more water. You'll probably end up adding a lot of water.
IMPORTANT- keep your paste nice and runny. You want it to be about the same consistancy as tomato juice. Keep in mind, it's gonna thicken up on you, but you want to be able to put it in a water bottle, or plastic jug and when you get to the wall, you can just pop the top and splash it against the wall. ( actually, it shouldn't neccesarilly splash, but quick flicks or whips of the wrist will get it out onto the wall.)
Remember. Practice makes perfect. I ruined my first 2 batches, and my next few were too thick, but usable.

If this is too difficult, go down to Home Depot and ask for Golden Harvest Teknabond Wallpaper adhesive. Just add water. It's like 3 bucks a box. I don't like it as much as homade paste personally, but Shepard Fairey (Obey Giant) uses it exclusively, and it's good to have a box on hand anyway in case you wanna get something up immediately and don't have a couple hours to cook and cool paste.

Tips on putting your shit up.
-Scope out your spot. Consider the time of day, watch the traffic. Try and get an idea of how regularly that area gets a patrol car comin thru. Plan 2 escape routes.
-don't be afraid to crumple up or fold your posters to conceal them. Wrinkles or creases come out when it's saturated with paste. I usualy roll my poster up and fold it in half, then put it under my sweatshirt.
-Putting paste in plastic bottles makes it easy to carry and almost unneccecary to conceal, because it look like you're holding your drank. Especially if it''s a nightime mission. I like to have a 1 liter bottle on hand for 2 large posters.
- A hand width sized paintbrush is best for poster sized posters. Wrap it in a loose plastic bag. You'll understand this part when you're done getting up. Doing a big ass poster? A roller might be better. High up spot? Bring an extension pole. They're worth the 20 bucks you gotta shell out for them. They're a bitch to conceal tho....
-Conceal yourself as well as possible, but don't dress like a gangbanger. I wear jock clothes or tourist clothes when I wanna get up. Sure, you feel like a punk, but it's a disquise and it really helps and if you wanna shake an ID while fleeing a scene, you don't get all butt hurt that you had to ditch your floppy hat or golf shirt. I can hit a busy intersection at 3 in the afternoon on a Saturday and bounce... in my geek clothes. Fade that shit...
-_-
-Bring a couple paper towels. It could get messy.
- Don't forget this....----Lay down a coat of paste, apply your poster, THEN LAY A COAT OF PASTE OVER TOP OF POSTER!!!!. That's what traps it to the wall after drying. I've got posters up after a full year. Faded to shit, but they're still there.

Good luck suckas.
