This would be perfect for wheat-pasting! Could print multiple on one sheet of cheap copy/printer paper. The more porous, the better.

How to Wheat-Paste Posters 🧵
"Consider your safety and your privilege. “Don’t go out alone,” says Strandquist, who, as a 34-year-old white man, can poster the city in broad daylight with an impunity he knows won’t be extended to artists of color. Many of the group’s posters were put up with permission, but some are what he calls “uncommissioned.” Amplify the work and words of artists from the neighborhoods where you’re postering.
A wheat-pasted poster might be ripped down after an hour or slowly fade over a year. Think of the layered aesthetic of a collection of posters as an ongoing public conversation. “It’s a way for artists to respond to a crisis,” Strandquist says. “And help us imagine a better, more equitable world.”

How to Wheat-Paste Posters 🧵
"To cook wheat paste, use four parts water and one part flour. Start by boiling your water. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with enough cold water to create a lump-free goo, then pour this mix into the boiling water. Turn the burner down low, and stir continuously for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir another 10 minutes. Wait until cooled to use.
Print your poster on thin paper so the paste can seep through, preferably 20-pound, uncoated bond paper. Once on site, use a wide paintbrush to add a layer of paste just slightly larger than your image. Press your poster into the paste, pushing out any air pockets. Paint another layer over the top to seal."

“Wheat paste is a way to get art and messaging into public spaces,” says Mark Strandquist, an artist from Philadelphia."
“Wheat paste is a way to get art and messaging into public spaces,” says Mark Strandquist, an artist from Philadelphia, who was walking around his neighborhood in early March, past storefronts covered over in plywood, when he realized those boards and empty windows could serve as canvases. He put out a call to artists, and within a few weeks the project, called Fill the Walls with Hope, had collected dozens of downloadable images from them. Strandquist and his fellow artists have put up more than 1,000 posters with a home-cooked glue concoction made from flour and water. Many of the posters share messages of public health and safety, among them, “Mask Up” and “Don’t Let Racism Go Viral.”

# A micro guide to wheatpaste
**Making paste**
You need 1 part flour to 4 parts water
1. Use 1 of the 4 parts water to mix
flour into a slurry. Stir vigorously
2. Boil the rest of the water on medium or high heat
3. Drizzle the flour slurry into the boiling water, whisking as you do
4. Lower the heat to low and stir slowly, letting it cook for about 3 minutes
5. Turn off the heat, let it cool until its cool enough to not melt plastic, and put in a jar or bottle
**Application**
You need the thing you want to paste, the wheatpaste, and an utensil to apply (roller, paintbrush, even an old sponge or rag should work)
1. Coat the surface underneath (with round motions to fill crevices)
2. Put paper on top stretching from the center out radially
3. Coat with more wheatpaste on top, to help glue better and protect against rain
## FAQ
* _"I don't know how to draw/paint! This is cool and all but I don't have anything to paste up!"_
You can always swap designs with other artists and print those, artists love seeing their work reach afar. You can also just draw a little doodle you identify with and write a pseudonym or something.
* _"Is this legal to do on the streets?"_
On paper, in most places, not really; but in practice, almost always, the worst that can happen is people will scrape it off. Art tends to get a free pass here.
* _"How long does wheatpaste last?"_
About a couple days in the fridge. If you want to use it for longer, a splash of vinegar helps preserve it by warding off microbes. If it smells sour or fermented, discard it immediately! The microbes in contaminated wheatpaste **will** eat your material (and the starch binding it) inside out.
Let's say you are prepared as you can afford to be...
What are you doing to wake up normies around you about the existential threat we are facing?
Put up #AntiFascist flyers. Pictures of people in cages like #AlligatorAuschwitz
Use #Wheatpaste if you don't want it taken down.
