Hand Bills? Pasted Posters?
 

Okay, so I'm making it my responsibility to pimp the upcoming Gorillaz album in my town.

I got a bunch of PDFs of propaganda, and I'm gonna print them all out and post em. But I want to know what the adhesive they use to post things such as this. Anyone know what it is?

PS: Sorry, I didn't really know where to put this. I'm sure it'll get more attention here.

Thanks you guys.

Don't know anything about adhesive . . . but i just wanted to say, more power to ya, Gorillaz is an awesome group!! :thumbsup:

This is a good glue when you need to glue for objects other than paper.

SWEET! But uh... which one should I use? Waterproof?

Why not just use tape? Putting up papers with adhesives can cause actual damage and could be taken as vandalism/graffiti. If you lived here and ran into the wrong cops you could get in some serious trouble.

Best of luck.

you can get varnish and a rolling painter thing put a layer down put the paper on top and then put a layer of varnish over the paper... supposed to work pretty well...

OOoooo. I ain't fraid of no coppers.
(I actually am, though)
I'd try tape, but it looks so tacky.
I'm a shitty cook, so I'm gonna steer clear of the homemade stuff.

So I think I'll try a varnish. Or maybe staples.

You do have to be careful about where and how you post flyers because, as Manic_skafe said, you could break some laws. Staples work well enough when you're putting them on wooden poles. I once put up a bunch of show flyers around campus with masking tape, but any that weren't in 'proper' places were torn down within a few days.

In some arts & crafts stores, & some hardware stores you can get a can of aerosol adhesive. It would be easy to take with you, & make putting up the flyers a breeze.Examples

Oh my god. Demeter, that's exactly what I was looking for!

In some cities posting bills like this is considered vandalism.

Ahem, in *most* cities this is considered vandalism.

Aerosol adhesive isn't going to work well outside. If the humidity is above 20% you're going to get crappy adhesion. If the surface is rough or damp, you're going to get crappy adhesion. To disseminate propaganda, the classic adhesive used by "underground advertisers" (mainly anarchists) is a paste of powdered milk and water. That shit lasts for years, or until a guy with a pressure washer decides to take 20 minutes to blast away a letter-sized piece of paper. You can PM me for more info if you're interested.

Mmm ... propaganda.

Hmmm, who woulda thought! Thanks for the info.
*hangs head in shame*

Just staple or tape it. That is what I usually do when I have a yard sale. It works. Also, usually bright colored papers to get the attention of everybody. It works like a charm.
