Pasteup's 101, by jynormous on Jan 4, 2008 16:10:16 GMT 1, Hi all,
Can anyone offer any advice or point me in the way of some good "hows to's" for making pasteup's?
I'm talking about things to do and what not to do. Tips that you have picked up over the years that you are willing to pass on to a guy who is going to start working on some designs.
I notice that most paste-ups are larger than A0, is there a way of joining the paper together in the stencil process? What paper do you use?
Sorry to sound like a goose, i did try old mate google but for once he wasn't very helpful.
Thanks for all your help guys and girls.

Pasteup's 101, by James Smith 77 on Jan 4, 2008 16:31:25 GMT 1, Making big posters to wheatpaste up is a bit tricky. You can either get a large silkscreen made or break the piece up. The largest screen I've ever bought was 40"x40". I know OBEY uses multple screens for his large images. I used to create LARGE posters and used rubylithe (spelling?). It's a two sided film, one side in green and one side is clear, they are stuck together. You basically cut away the green portion (leaving the clear side intact) with an exacto knife. You need a steady hand to do this. You are basically creating a stencil to attach to a silkscreen that you will use over and over again. Once you are finished you get a chemical that bonds the green film to a silkscreen, and peal away the clear part once it's dry. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the chemical. You could probably call up a silkscreen workshop or shop and ask what is used to bond the rubylithe to a silkscreen.
The next step is finding the right paper. You will need to experiment to find the right glue and paper combination. You need to find a thin paper. The thicker paper will not bond to the wall with wheatpaste. For a homemade wheatpaste recipe do a google search. Try different ones on your local safe wall. Then go out and BOMB!

Fairly difficult alternative instructions to create a silkscreen:

Hope this starts you off in the right direction.

Plan. Well, at the moment there is no plan, but thats always the best plan!
Im going to start doing some of my own work and wanted to know how to slap them up. I wasnt really thinking for here in London, more for when i go back to Australia, but you never know.....
I have the images in my head, just trying to work out if they would look best as stencils or paste-ups and i think its the second one due to the colour needed.
Hmmmm, it looks like i have a bit of reading on my hands.
Any tips Jef?
