    wouldnt tissue paper work really good then?
    i mean the shits thin as hell and would be almost totally transparent once pasted

    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.

    I think it would either

    A-Rip too easy
    B- Soak in too much paste and ruin your design

    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!
