Alright, ive been a graffiti artist for a while now and wheatpasting has been my main thing for as long as i can remember. Here’s my guide to wheatpasting, it REALLY doesnt need pics, i wrote both of them for another site, (RaZoR123/Kulsh123 on BombingScience.com) but ill do it again but revise it for RE!
------------------------------------------------------
So, you wanna know all about wheatpasting huh? Wheatpaste is pretty much a glue made by graff writers to put up posters that will be NEAR impossible to tear down if pasted up properly....the glue is mainly comprised up of Water and Flour......it works by first brushing/rolling the wheatpaste onto the surface you plan to paste your poster onto....brush the paste a little bit bigger than the poster itself, make sures its a nice thick coat on the wall....now smooth the poster down over it.....try to remove all the air bubbles, creases, etc.....try and make it as smooth as possible onto the paste....now just brush/roll a thin coat over the front of the poster (whatever paste thats left on your brush should be fine) to seal the poster to the wall....done! The paste will take a few hours to dry, but if its properly put up, it will be nearly impossible to tear down! Pasting is a great and easy way to get up, i mean....i could burn anybody with pasting because i could put up a 6 foot poster faster than they could finish a quick fill in.....interested yet?
Paper Choosing the right paper for your poster is important. ALWAYS REMEMBER: THE THINNER THE PAPER, THE BETTER...the reason why that is is because you want your poster saturated completely in paste, and the thinner the more pressed against the wall and more saturated in paste...Now, ive heard of a lot of diff. papers being used for posters, but i highly recommend the following:
Newsprint: Probably the most ideal paper....you can get them from a printing press...they usually throw the last few meters of the roll of newsprint cause they cant use it in the machine...go talk to them! You can buy big pads of it at Hobby Lobby for like $6....
Butcher Paper: Not so sure where to get this, but one side of it is waxed, so use the other side....good stuff though!
Xerox Paper: Pretty much the paper that Xerox/Photocopy machines print on (no, not your A4 Home Printer paper...) this paper is used when making posters using the computer....we’ll cover that later.....
Wrapping Paper: Use the white side.....thin stuff! I can get a roll of it at the dollar store....
Ive also heard of some people ripping out pages of the phone book, spray painting it white, and using that for handmade posters!....whatever floats your boat!
Posters Now for making posters....you have 2 options.....Hand-Drawn, or PC Made.....for Hand drawn, use markers that wont fade in the sun....Sharpie Paints, Pilots, Decos, etc...For PC made copies....print them at home and go get copys of it from a Xerox/Photocopy machine...i know it sounds pointless, but the paper is of better quality, so is the ink...it wont fade in the sun, and nor will the ink smear..... ....SO DONT USE HOME PRINTER COPIES! IT ISNT WORTH IT!!!
Poster Ideas When you make your posters, you want to paste with a purpose...you want a good picture to draw peoples attention, and then words to explain it....or just doing karaks is fine too....i dont recommend signing your posters though.....it can only link you too more tags if your caught....so i dont recommend it....
Extras Now that you’ve made a poster, its optional to MIST a coat of Shellac or Clear Acrylic over the poster on both sides....but thats optional....
Pasting Now you’ve got your poster(s)....its ready to get your supplies! I recommend 3 methods only. Your hands, a brush, or a roller. Use your hands for A4’s (xerox/printer sized paper) because NOTHING is getting that thing up faster than your hands. Use a brush if its your first time pasting or you dont want to get that messy...make sure its at LEAST 3 in. wide. And then i recommend a roller and an extension pole for higher spots.
Using your hands: Put the paste in either a Gatorade bottle (Tall one, or the wider one) or an XL Fast Food cup. Splash the paste on the wall, and spread it rapidly with your hands, remember, you want a THICK first coat...apply the poster. And then spread on a nice thin top coat with all the extra paste on the wall. Carry a pack of travel size Wet Wipes on you, or a bottle of water and some paper towels for this method. Or gloves, but that STILL gets messy...
Brush: Simple....put paste in a XL cup, spread around with brush....
Roller: You’ll prolly need a bucket or something....
Making Paste So now, you’ve made your posters, gotten your supplies, and decided your container....whats next? The paste, thats what! Wheatpaste is SOOOO easy to make, its cheap, and you get a lot of bang for your buck! Here are the best recipes i have ever used....i recommend these recipes more than any other paste recipe out there!!!! But still experiment within reason! Also, when making paste, i recommend using a wisk! Great for getting out the lumps....and always add the additives when the paste is OFF the heat and COOLED, and in its container...:
-Wheatpaste- - Simmer 1 cup of Water
— Pour one cup of All Purpose White Flour
into 2 cups of cold water. Stir with wisk. Pour into
simmering water
-Stir thoroughly for approx. 3-5 mins on Medium heat. Now stop stirring for about 10 seconds....if a bubble rises to the surface of the paste and pops, then it has "boiled" and goto next step, if one didnt, then keep stirring and check for the bubble again every 1 minute until it occurs, then proceed to the next step
— After paste has heated to a boil, switch stove to low heat and cook the paste for at least half an hour, at this point, the paste should have the consistency of vanilla pudding, stir CONSTANTLY and adjust as necessary: (Too thick, more water! Too thin, more flour!) It will become thinner and more transparent....
— Upon reaching desired (smooth, pliable, and somewhat
transparent) consistency, take paste off the heat and
let cool to room temp by leaving it sit out, stirring it every 3-5 mins or so.... The optimal consistency of the paste at the end should be that of a Vanilla Milkshake....
*Optional* After paste has cooled, add one of the Paste Additives listed below...
Paste Additives Here are some good things to add to your paste to increase its performance....ADD THESE WHEN PASTE HAS COOLED DOWN TO ROOM TEMPERATURE AND NOT WHILST IT IS STILL HOT!!!
White Sugar or Corn Starch: Add about a handful of either to your paste when cooled for added stickiness/strength!
Wood Glue: Add LAST MINUTE (in other words, add it in the paste right before you leave to go paste....i’d say add 1 parts Wood Glue for every 5 parts paste......it helps increase its strength, and makes it more waterproof....
Minwax Polyacrylic: An idea of my own...like Polyurethane, it creates a stong clear finish....Make it waterproof, and a lot stronger....ADD THIS LAST MINUTE ALSO!!!!
Clove Oil or Witch Hazel: I’d say 3 drops per cup will keep your paste from molding for longer....i’d say it would extend the shelf life with refrigeration to about 2 weeks tops....good stuff!
That is really all i could mention.....for higher spots, invest like $10 for a nice roller with an extension pole to get those hard to reach spots.....DONT add crushed lightbulbs to your paste mix....you’ll get charged with intention to harm a city worker too if your caught....USE ALL PURPOSE FLOUR instead of Wheat Flour.....more adhesive and no brown specks!
-RaZoR-
Fun fact: Clove oil is a sedative. When overdosed in a small cup, it is a way to humanely kill fish.
It might just be me but that sentence was as retarded as you, Alle.
It made no sense.
Feb 05, 2008 7:20 pm - Wanna know a secret? The sentence made perfect sense. If you are too ignorant to understand it, then you might need to "go git yurself sum more buuk learnin’"
Feb 05, 2008 7:25 pm - After re-reading it 8 times, i now understand it. You should learn where to put your commas to make your shit understandable before you tell me to "go git myself sum more buuk learnin"
Feb 05, 2008 7:34 pm - nicely done, just a few things that youve forgotton that i thought would be nice to add, crushed light bulbs ( basically any crushed glass ) was used way back when in george washington days to give people cuts when people tried to take down political posters.
also you can make stencils, bigg ther better, i haev a fonzie stencil i paste up thats 6 feet tall
anyways another HUGE bonus to wheat pasting is unless you are on a billboard or roof top ( and that even is iffy ) you cant get into any trouble, if you get caught putting up a poster (which i love to do during the day ) you can take it down with ease even in the next half an hour or so, that way people dont get butthurt and acll the cops, and if they do, then still no big deal no legal damage done
last thing is a gallon jug of wall paper pase for unpasted paper is really good and about 10 dollars at lowes. You can pay for it, steal it, or steal shit return for store credit and buy paste along with buckets rollers brushes gloves and cans of paint
but yea i go on too long when i talk about graff cuase i love it so much

pasting = legal and fun =D
Dude, no flame or anything, especially thanks for the 5*...but dude, i mentioned crushed glass, i dont recommend it...somebody is gonna call out on your fail! "Add crushed glass..." and then later "Then just tear it down if caught" dude...you put crushed glass in it so it CANT be torn down...and i know of it, i just dont recommend it, for that reason, and if caught, federal offense for harming a city worker! And its not legal haha...

I am the king of grammar. Don’t attempt to flame me. Very bad decision. Ask Kissmycck why.

The king of grammar would not fuck up his commas. Also, i wasn’t flaming you. Merely correcting you. But, i will flame you you faggot ass cock-sucking- butt pirate.
Do your worst you 5 foot 8 inch Napolean wannabe queer.
Feb 05, 2008 8:30 pm - Since i cannot post in the forums, 0*, because i have to get rid of some of this aggression. Nvm, 5*

Without re-arranging my words, insert commas where your highness sees fit, and we will see who knows proper grammar.

Did you ask Kissmycck why you shouldn’t talk shit on me yet?
I’ll just sum up the story:
I am 1337. I obtained his old address. I used a NSW housing registry to find out where he moved to, which gave me his address, phone number, and cell phone number.
Then, I proceeded to send a pedo from NSW to his front door. He is lucky though. The pedo chickened out. He thought it was "To catch a predator".
Also, what does my height have to do with anything? Wanna ship your happy ass down to Kansas so we can see if size really does matter? I’d be more than happy to. Give me a ring, little boy.
Did you ask Kissmycck why you shouldn’t talk shit on me yet?
No, i did not. Frankly, i do not care. Whatever he could tell me will not make you cool.

While saying the following statement I will have everyone know I am completely heterosexual.
If you, completely by yourself, can obtain my cell or home phone number and post it on here, i will gladly pay for a plane ticket to Kansas, fly up there, and suck your cock. Don’t try to turn that around and call me gay because you’re in love with fish and fish are gay. Period. Therefore, you are the only homosexual here.
Quote:

I guess nothing at all. I was just making fun of you because you are short you faggot.
Quote:

**up** to Kansas.
Again, although i am almost positive i would beat the shit out of you, i wasn’t saying size meant anything. I was merely making fun of you for being short. Now shut up before i rest my dick on your head shorty.
Feb 05, 2008 10:57 pm - I’m still waiting for a coherent response.
Also, talking shit on the internet makes you look like an even bigger fool.
And how are YOU going to buy a plan ticket? You are 15, most likely a freshman, and have no car, no job, and most certainly no money.

pot calling the kettle black.

Actually, i have more than enough money to buy a plane ticket. Now say something gay like, "pics or it didn’t happen" then ill post some pics and you’ll stfu. deal?
Also, sophmore not freshman. Technically Junior with the amount of credits i have and the classes i take.
Feb 06, 2008 4:28 pm - the taking it off part is just for being caught in the act and as a last resort, obviously if someone passes by and says hey thats bad you arent gonna peel it, but if a cop stops by you basically have no choice. when i said its legal, what i meant was there is no way for you to get caugt unless someone has you on tape and your finished wrok is permanent

It’s not Alle’s fault that you interpret things in a different way. His sentence was perfectly understandable.
Feb 08, 2008 10:52 am - no pictures.. and graffiti is the art of drawing.. so how would you explain with no examples?
well you managed to do that pretty well so 4* for you..
but really.. pics next time
