About to get up! Any last-minute advice?

I've made my prints and am ready to go! I do have some lil questions tho

What kind of container do you use to store your wheatpaste in while you put stuff up? I'm thinking of squeezy paint/condiment bottles for easy application.

What kinds of bags are y'all using? (im not even gonna buy a new one, just curious ab how you keep yourselves organized on the street)

What do you say if/when folks ask questions? im not talking cops, just pedestrians

edit: thought of a new question! What are yall doing with your wet brushes and rollers?

wish me luck!

Paper Advice?

Does wheatpasting work on regular paper? Like if I just printed out my design would that work? Im not able to get it printed on poster paper.

Adding honey to wheatpaste?

I saw a video that recommended adding sugar to wheatpaste (near the end, after adding the flour to the boiling water).

I was wondering if I can substitute honey for the sugar?

Thanks

Medium?

Hi I'm new to this and just want to ask what mediums can you use to create your poster. I understand printing but can you create it by painting or drawing or printmaking?

sharpie-proofing?

Hey! Is there any coating you can put on after you've wheat pasted to make it sharpie-proof? Someone keeps blacking out my free Palestine posters with permanent marker, and I'm wondering if there is a shellac or oil-based thing that would keep the sharpie from working...

Wheatpaste paper questions

Hey all,

Totally new to wheatpasting.

I have access to a large format ecosolvent printer. (mimaki cjv30) I tried doing some large prints on some uncoated paper and the colors were super dull and the ink bled, overall didnt look great.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with these types of printers and what type of paper would be ideal. Really want the colors and quality to mimic what I see these wheatpaste marketing firms doing. Anyone know what kind of paper the wheat paste marketing firms use?

or how certain

The printer I'm using tends to print best on coated papers and even thin canvas like synthetic materials.

Cleaning up after making wheatpaste?

I'm making wheatpaste for the first time in one of my pots. I'm planning to wash the pot in my kitchen sink afterwards (to clean off the wheatpaste residue).

How bad is it to pour wheatpaste residue down my sink drain? Will it clog my sink drain?

Also: will the pot still be usable after I make wheatpaste?

Thanks!

Is wheatpaste recycle?

If you use wheatpaste on otherwise recyclable material, could you put it in the recycling if needed?

Add Wood Glue to wheatpaste

I'm going to paint a mural in few days and I'd like to add an element using the good ol' wheatpaste technique. I have read somewhere online that if add some wood glue to the wheatpaste, it can increases its longevity, is it true? I bought some time ago a can of "Gorilla Wood Glue". Also, how much glue do I need to add, considering it has a dimension of an A4 paper?

Looking for a material to put on top of a wheatpaste poster...

I'm working on my first wheatpaste project and I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be plausible to print separate posters that would go overtop of the wheatpaste pieces and gradually fall off/apart without ruining the piece underneath? Does anyone know of a particular material that might work best for this? The wheatpaste portion would be on 70lb Smooth Text paper if that helps. Hopefully this makes sense, let me know if not and I can try to elaborate :) Thanks in advance for the help.

Canvas size???

I'm about to make a digital design for my first wheatpaste, but I don't know what size my canvas should be (I use Clío studio). The size of my wheatpaste would be almost the human size/full body. 27x55 inches more or less. I want it to have the best possible quality when I print it. Any advice would be very helpful to me. Thanks and I will totally post it here when I’m done with it
