wheatpaste

Does anybody here know a really good and strong recipe for easy wheatpaste?

Also, one more question. Does wheatpasting work with regular paper, like printing paper, or do i need special paper so that it doesn't smear or smudge o nothin?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatpaste#Ti...or_Wheatpasting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatpaste#Tips_for_Wheatpasting) this might give you some indication as to how to make it most effective

also, if you're feeling too lazy to mix it up buying some wallpaper paste from a DIY shop works just as well

You can make wheat paste by mixing three parts wheat flour and one part corn starch, boiling that in water (at proportions of two parts starch to three parts water), and cooking it down to a paste. Hurry to stick up posters everywhere with it before it dries. You can keep your wheat paste warm and wet longer in winter by carrying it around in a drink cooler. Try variations of the recipe until you find a personal favorite. from crimethinc. I usually use just flour and water. Don't worry about how ratios. Just slowly add water to a cup of flour while boiling. Keep stirring and wait until it gets a thick but smooth, glue like consistancy. I've heard of using glass to avoid people taking flyers and posters down but that's just mean. Some people also use glue to help it bond better. Make sure you paste over the top so it's harder to pull off. I've read that using a paint bucket with a paint brush put through the lid to make carrying around easier. Squirty bottles work too. I've just used a chinese container and my hands and that works if you don't get picked up. Once my bag got searched. I was ready to say i was hommus, but if they opened it and smelt it.. who knows what'd happen. :unsure:

EDIT: Regular paper works fine :)
