Wheat Paste

Prepare 1 cup (2.4 dl) of very hot water. Make a thin mixture of 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of white flour and cold water. Pour the cold mixture slowly into the hot water while stirring constantly. I cannot emphasize the importance of stirring enough. Yes, it is tiring, but don't stop. Bring to a boil. When it thickens, allow to cool. Smear on like any other glue. For slightly better strength, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of sugar after the glue is thickened. After using a portion, reheat the remaining in a covered jar or container to sterilize it for storage or keep refrigerated. If wheat flour is not available, other flours will work. Wheat paste is the best way to put up posters. If you have a message that you don't want taken down, wheat paste it!!! It may take you a few tries to get just the right mixture, but once you do, it is rumored to be way better than Super Glue. A note concerning wheat paste: Wheat paste is an environmentally friendly product. It does not contain petroleum products, harmful chemicals or carcinogenic materials. It may be used by anyone so inclined with few if any side effects. Wheat paste is rumored to be an extremely potent and long lasting glue like substance that will decompose naturally leaving behind no harmful bi-products. Those who would argue that wheat paste is “permanent” do not recall kindergarten and the fact that “hot water” is all that is needed to remove it or dilute it. In fact any water will serve the same purpose, but hot works better. But let me stress in no uncertain terms that we do not condone the violation of any laws that might infringe upon the placement of posters upon any surface. As there have been many calls for my head as a result of the actions by those of you out there who are placing posters upon surfaces that are not allowed I must state publicly that I do not condone such activities and cannot be held responsible for the actions of others even if I did condone them. Therefore I caution those brave monkey warriors who lope through darkened streets with steaming buckets of glitter glue to be cautious, aware and responsible for their own actions. Adding 1/2 bottle of Elmer's Glue per every gallon of hot water increases the strength, and durability of the wheat paste, or so we have heard. We suggest adding just a touch of glitter to give the posters that special glint of FREEDOM.
