Hey Reddit!
I know! Wheat glue, made from potato starch, works well with a bit of salt and sugar – salt for cold resistance and sugar for better durability.
But there should be better and stronger adhesives. Does anyone have experience with wet room glue or hide glue (made from boiling animal bones)? Can you mix wallpaper paste with varnish or other adhesives for extra strength?
I'm also curious about paper choices. I want to paint 10m x 3m. Any tips?
I've tried party paper rolls, costing 8 euros for 10-20 meters, but they have a surface treatment that makes them a bit plasticky, and thus, they don't stick well. Any suggestions? How do I get rolls with thin paper that are still manageable and don't tear easily? Thanks in advance for all the tips!
