    That's kinda sadistic. Why would you do that? Shit gets buffed. That's how it works. You keep on truckin. The bear in my sig only got rocked for like 4 days. S'okay. I got more. I wouldn't want some little kid gettin cut on my shit when he comes up to touch it cuzz he's fascinated. Little kids do that shit. I've seen 'em. I reccomend staying on friendly terms with your neighborhood and not doing that shit. Just make more posters.

    Newera- Sorry for your loss. Your idea is great tho. If you send me the picture, I can run it thru a program that will make it easily taceable lines. Then you can blow it up on a projector... If you wanna go really big. ;)

    Bathroom stalls are kinda wack, and they'll get buffed with the quickness. Probably won't even dry. The key to wheatpasting is to make the image, big, bold, and in a fascinating and heaty spot you can't neseccarilly get to with paint. That makes people wanna read what you're on about. Hit them with an image first that'll catch there attention, then they'll come and read what you want them to.

    I posted a while ago in a different thread asking about people's thoughts on spray adheasives, 3m makes 77, 80, and 90, 90 being the strongest, I'm thinking of trying them, they're kind of expensive, but would be faster and easier. Molotow and Mtn also make spray adheasives, which look good too.

    i use wallpaper underpaper for what i'm doing but any paper should be ok as long as it's not to thin or to thick to be stuck. i use an empty bucket paint can to hold my paste in.

    yeah just a bucket or something like that, it doesn't really matter, don't let it sit long, because it will give off the nastiest smell ever, I've also heard of people's containers popping open, shooting out wheatpaste because I guess it was make carbon dioxide or something. Clean the container out when you're done.

    The skinnier the paper, the better, at least reasonably, most people use newsprint paper, it comes in large sheets at art and craft stores, it's pretty thin. Some people use butcher paper, and you can get really big pieces of paper from newspaper companies, at the end of the roll, that they can't use. If it's thinner, it takes less to hold it up, making it stronger, and harder to get off, the paste soaks in more, also trying to scrape something very thin is hard.

    this is a little late... but the war is a cover up... the government is always doing shit they dont tell us about... have u talked to veterans? some talk about being in places that noones ever heard of at the same time they shoulda been in iraq... iraq is an excuse to send out mass soldiers to other places secret wars are happening in. yeah it sounds like some fucked up high shit, but really, the government doesnt tell us SHIT. we have no reason to be in iraq, the last time a government was stable there was what? hundreds of years ago? democracy has only worked in america like communism is in china. i feel like a faggot to say, but americas gonna fall. btw... have u ever really paid CLOSE attention to some of the army ad's... its like crazy ass propaganda... "looking up at a soldier in uniform on american streets brave and tall looking into the future with a masculin face on. child holding his mother's hand looks back at him in aw. THEN, "THERES STRONG, THEN THERES ARMY STRONG""... doesnt that just sound like some fucked up nazi type brainwashing shit... not to compare america with the nazi's... but the germans did mass brainwashing about hitler, and its kind of along the same lines brainwashing wise.... think about it.

    Take your government hating shit somewhere else. Soldiers provide us with the freedom you live in today.
    No reason to be in Iraq? You fucking forget 9/11? Dumbass.
    Shut the fuck up and take that somewhere else.
    Want to reply to this? PM ME. Don't bring it here.

    yeah I've thought about using a mop for wheatpaste too, I think it might work, but I'm not sure.

    I'd roll up the posters, then they'll be small, but not have folds in them, also roll them up toward the backside, so that they would push against the wall, not peel away from it.

    no fuck u, im leaving it here.. did i say ANYTHING remotley against the support of soldiers? no, i didnt. and im not bashing freedom, u asshole. im bashing the government for not telling us shit. the reason they give us for being in iraq is to set up a government for them. why should we set up someone elses government? that is no reason to send thousands upon thousands of soldiers to fight. and FUCK 9/11. that just gave them a reason to deploy our soldiers to other places and blame it on iraq and osama or who the fuck ever they wanted to. did u forget that they control what u see and read everyday? theyre in control of media, theyre in control of everything u believe in. thats also y a do what i do in graf because they cant control that shit. sure, only about 2000 people in this world will ever know "skor". but the point is that the government doesnt know my name and face and i can express who i am without them taking control of it. so shut the fuck up, it is my freedom to say what i want. how can u sit there and try to lecture me about soldiers dying for my freedom and then tell me i cant use it.

    if you're going on about starting a debate on the government take it someplace else. we give feedback here and talk about posters. make a poster with your message if you really want then we'll tell you what we think. don't try and spread government conspiracy theories for no reason.
