Wheatpaste

[Vagrant]

paste should dry clear
putting a layer of paste over the poster ensures it will be weatherproof

ok. thanks again man.

[m u t e]

disclaimer: this is not a wheatpaste.
But since we ain't got a wood board thread and the street art thread is pretty well dead, I'ma put this here. So don't get all bitchy about it.

I found a bunch of wood in the dumpster by my place. So I'm going to be making some more of these and using an electric drill and some plumbers glue to fix them onto telephone poles and abandoned buildings and shit.

indigo-thats dope. Ive never heard of woodboard stuff like that before. I like your pioneering spirit in street art. Do you do any canvas/fine art stuff? If so, id like to swap pics

[Indigoblue]

thanks everyone.
using wood boards for street work isn't an original idea - lots of people do it - but it's a new direction for me personally.
I do canvas stuff a lot, peep my flickr for pics.

ANYONE WANNA SEE MORE FROM ME, IVE GOT TONS, JUST PM ME AND ILL SEND YOU SOME FLIX

I like it man, but where the dotted line is, you might want to have a different color fill in between those spaces. Kind of like an emergency traffic sign. But thats just personal preference with me, other then that, its ill.

[ohgawdxcarcrash]

the first two remind me of the swastika for some reason.. even though it looks nothing like it.

[kinglerxst]

ummm... okay?

[Indigoblue]

thanks Thickalick and Kinglerxt.
@ K - I am not represented by a gallery. I don't sell much of my work, and if I do it's usually to friends.

Just to let people know who are looking for paper, I went to Walmart today and bought a giant book of newsprint paper for $4.77. 200 pages and pretty good size.

so i just moved and i wanna get up and i do stencils and shit but there are mad cops around here during the weekend so i havent done any stencils cause im paranoid and then i rmembered wheatpastign and then i just went and read a shit ton of this thread and had a question: could i just put the wheatpaste into a water bottle or soemthign and pour out a little bit on the wall and spread it with brush? would that work... also does it need to be refridgerated or does that just make it less stanky+fresher...
good work mute and indigo your stuff stuck out as i was scrolling through the last few pages

[Indigoblue]

thanks
yeah, pasting is a good way to get ups if there's tons of heat around
wheatpaste is an organic substance, so you need to refrigerate it or it will go moldy and nasty.
yeah the water bottle thing would probably work if your paste is runny enough to pour easily. I tend to like mine thicker but thats just personal preference.
try it and see. if it don't work, try somethin else.

[H3TT1NG3R]

^how do you make urs thick but still transparent? it seems whenever mines thick its liek almost opaque hha

[Thickalick]

http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Wheat-Paste Here's the recipe I used for my first batch, tho it really doesn't matter on the measurements, I just freestyle now till I like the thickness. I prefer thick too, a bit thicker then white glue. Never had it opaque doing it like this.

If that recipe works im doing some wheatpaste rightnow.
All the other recipies seem so hard that one seems so simple

[calculating infinity]

Works perfectly man, just make sure to whisk it well before putting it in the pot or it will be lumpy.
