thanks cezr that meens a heap to me i love your wheatpastes nahhh just ment for short distance but ill remember that advise..
so according to everyone in here go for thin paper right? wouldnt tissue paper work really good then? i mean the shits thin as hell and would be almost totally transparent once pasted i think i am gonna go find some and check it out
tissue paper would be hard as fuck to write on. its too small. and its so thin, itll rip once it touches the roller. atleast thats what i think. someone try it.
yea it would just rip and look shit maby napkin paper would be better i think its a little bit thicker but it would still be real hard to draw on and your markers would probbally bleed into it heaps i just stick with butchers paper atm...
The thinness of the paper isn't THAT big of an issue. It just needs to saturate fully to baond to the wall, and if you put a coat of paste over the bottom and top of the poster, it will work fine.... If you use too thin of a paper, it will tear when you go to push the air pockets out of it on the wall. Craft/poster paper works perfect. It comes in long rolls, it's easy to find and cheap. WHat more do you need?...
hey, i dont like wheatpaste (just me, the idea of something that molds when i dont use it isn't kinda my bag).. elmers white glue isn't as strong as wheatpaste.. elmers white glue with water, = just as strong as wheatpaste! (some boring people did a test lol) i compiled a recipie for a wheatpaste like poster glue which wont mold and will last very long and might even be better than wheatpaste.. take some elmers white glue, and dilute it 3/4 glue, 1/4 water, then add around 2bottle caps of baking soda, and half a cap of plaster of paris, add, around a squeeze of wood glue, with a splash of water.. then think of that mixture as 3/4 of what you want, and add 1/4 wallpaper paste.. and a pinch of salt is needed. if its too thick.. add more water to what you want.. i dont use wheatpaste.. i use that... keeps for as long as you want.. stays up... Great success!
sounds good man, i dont use paste either, cus it dont dry properly sometimes here(its mad humid) i might try that though seems stronger than spray glue...but dosent the glue jus peel off smooth surfaces?
cus what he described is (i think correct me if im wrong) wood glue, and that peels off most smooth surfaces like mad easy
that got things moving but anyways i was at my old elemntary school its abandoned now me and my friend were walkin around to all the different class rooms and i found a giant roll of good paper it was ballin
hhahahahah hot stuff.. oh yeah.. thats why i add the plaster of paris.. makes it alot more brittle.. and then baking soda more sticky.. all there for a reason heheh
