hey mate, just a tip for adheasive's. haha for the first, if you use
gum any should be fine, but you dont want fresh chewed, you maybe want
it to be a lot (not all) chewed and then lfet out of the mouth for 2
minuts or so, the salivia wont help it stick.
also another cheap (maybe even cheaper than gum) and super effective
way is wheat paste, you know like we had at school. equal parts water
and equal parts flour, then heat slowly until it thickens. can make
alot of posters and flyers perminant. a good source of info for this
is on wikipedia. it seems to stick best of concrete and meteal. if you
make your flyers or whatever with waterproof paint, or marker then
once you have glued to the wall then you can put a layer on the front
to waterproof the poster, it will also make it alot lot harder to be
removed. if your not using water proof markers and what not, then you
can spray you work once posted with a gloss spray or even hair spray
to make it water proof and more perminant.
good luck mate
