What’s a wheatpaste?

Wheat paste is a glue made from flour and water that soaks into the paper you put it on so it makes the paper hard to remove


you make a paste with flour and boiling water, after it cools you use it as a glue to wallpaper flyers to things, and another layer on top.

i heard if you mix ground glass (don’t breathe that) or sand into the paste, it makes it impossible to scrape off

pretty much a graffiti technique

IIRC, there’s even a basic additive one can mix into the final coat to effectively bind the poster/flyer to the target polymer-sealed surface on a chemical level, all but unifying it with the original structure. Ahem. 🤘🏼

tl;dr They’re lying

NGL, I’m pretty sure that’d be unwise for me to specify. Besides, I do my best to not hand out a proverbial fish when the act of acquiring one is a lesson we all benefit from. 🤌🏼🤓

I will say that it’s both low-cost and somewhat related to 3D printing & similar polymer craft hobbies…. 🤫

i’m a nerd who acquires knowledge all the time, but that doesn’t substitute for learning from others experience

Agreed, 100%, and the method of said learning is clutch. 🖖🏼








By context I guess it means something like “flyposting” or “paste-ups” i.e. wallpaper pasting up posters, flyers, artworks, statements, placards etc in public places, usually without permission.



I thought it was Hilton, not Marriott? Or was it both?

(Gen Z’lect) Yes!




Yes master, right slave.
