    Another good way to get free newsprint is to go to gas stations that sell newspapers around midnight, When they are switching out the daily papers. Most gas stations just throw away old newspapers that they have left over. Just ask the clerk if they will save the old papers for you. Just spray over the print and put your own work!

    ive attempted wheate pasting, i like the concept, and ive had a few successes, but i just cant get the paste right, its always hit and miss, no matter what. im prolly gonna buy some adhesive spray and see how that works.

    I think making it is abit of a bugger.. you gotta trial and error.. as CEZR said theres no exact recipe..

    Try Wallpaper powder/paste.. you just mix it with water stick it in a water/fairy liquid bottle and go bombing.

    You can buy it in your local DIY store or cheap store, just take the sachet out of the box and stick it down your top/pants.

    Its cheap as fuck anyway so no point racking tbh

    Alot to carry?!

    This is what I take

    Backpack

    Inside: Plastic bag with paste and brush in. In the front compartment i have my posters.

    If I wanna hit a spot, just take out the carrier bag and wolla

    I also take someone with me, as a lookout and to put the poster in place. (Hes a writer aswell)

    and if anyone looks at you just stick your shit in your backpack

    simple as

    1. Work on your character/poster until your happy

    2. Make a nice copy (using a black marker or scan it into the PC if you can do that shit)

    3. (iF YOU EDITED IT ON THE PC) Print it out. DO NOT Print multiple copies to paste around

    4. Take your shit to your local stationary store and make copies

    5. Optional: Cut them out.

    6. Paste them up.


    - If you were thinking of printing copies from your home pc, yes it will work, and yes the image will fade x10 faster.

    Ive had posters up for a few weeks with cheap markers/home printed shit.. Its very faded already.. will be gone within a week or two

    where can i find that
    and how big is the can?
    right now i am using like mini 4 oz cans
    of the elmers stuff with rusto fat caps on it
    i am going to check tomorrow
    i put a poster up at skool in a bathroom
    i came back like 2 hours later and the corner was fallin down
    so i sprayed the part
    and then misted a coat of everything
    right as school got out

    and on the note for markers
    i hand draw all mine with a sharpie
    and then go over in deco
    works fine
    doesnt fade
    at all
    ive had poster up for almost three months now
    looks exactly the same as the day i put it up
    its in direct sunlight for most of the day too

    3M spray adhesive comes in a big brown can, the size of a rusto industrial enamel. They sell it at home depot, lowes, etc

    dude pasting sounds like so much fun. how do you guys not get caught. also do you go out and look for a spot to paste, because myself i would just walkaround with it in my bad and if i see something i will go hit it.
