watering down wheat paste?

i had an idea last night of slightly watering down wheat paste and putting it in a garden sprayer, like some people do with paint… would that work? has anyone tried? if not, does anyone know a substance that would be thin enough to work instead? thanks in advance!

Street Art Printer ?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to get good prints to put up outdoors. Preferably in the form of a printer for home use. The requirements are:

  • Printing must withstand UV light, i.e., sun exposure
  • Waterproof ink, or at least ink that can withstand being rained on without running

I'm quite new to this, so any tips, also general ones, are very appreciated. Is laser or ink preferred. Or is it the case that you buy a cheap printer and update with UV-resistant ink afterwards?

Layered wheatpaste peeling

I’m gluing construction paper to construction paper, then wheatpasting the whole piece when I put it up, but the glue isn’t sticking. I tried attaching the layers themselves with wheatpaste, but I had the same problem. Is there a certain glue I should use for layering the paper? Thanks in advance!

Wheat-paste alternatives?

hello friends - there may be a better place for this post and i apologize if that is the case. i rarely post to reddit, let alone social media, but i have a question that i can't seem to find the answer to on google. i've seen a few other posts about this but none answering the question i have.

for context, i've been doing some small scale sticker bombing around my universities campus, and i'm currently limited in my supplies for such (due to financial reasons and lack of transportation). i got my hands on some item labels and have been using those to make custom stickers, and they work pretty well. today, while walking back from the store (and slapping a few more stickers around town), i noticed one of the stickers i'd put up last night was already removed.

after doing some research, there is a general consensus that wheat-paste makes stickers and posters harder to remove. that's where my issue comes in - as implied, i am a student. i live in shared dorms, and cooking up wheat-paste for an hour and a half in the communal kitchen would definitely be suspicious. i was wondering if there were any other wheat-paste alternatives that people may recommend - i have a jar of Mod Podge which i was thinking of using, as i rarely use it for my art anymore. would that work? i've also seen that slicing the stickers can help prevent removal, but since these are just little flimsy item labels, i don't know if that would help.

any recommendations or answers to the mod podge question are highly appreciated!

Cheap poster printing

Hey everyone,

New to the game and learning the hard way. Pasted up some A0 posters around town, some have survived the awful weather and some have sadly been ripped down

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a cheap UK based printer for large passable posters? Cheapest I can find is around £8 per print and the stock is too heavy 120 gsm

Thanks!!

How long can wheatpaste remain wet/usable in squeeze bottles?

I'd like to prep wheatpaste in the morning for later use that night. Will it dry out in squeeze bottles during the day? Do I need to rehydrate it?

Recommendations Any wheatpaste alternatives that are just as strong as wheatpaste or preferably stronger? Also are there premade cans or buckets of wheatpaste or adhesive you'd recommend?

What do you guys paste on top to protect from the elements?

So I used a flour based wheat paste with a bit of sugar, do one layer of paste, paste up then another layer of wheat paste on top. It photographs well but I've noticed the colour changes and can go almost mouldy looking after a few weeks in the outdoors.

Any tips to help it last longer?

Recommendations for hiring wheatpasters

Hey! I've been looking into hiring wheatpasters to put up band posters in 1 or 2 cities I don't live in. I've looked into both individuals and street teams, but ultimately I don't really know where to start. Does anyone have any recommendations for specific teams, people, anything of the sort?
