What? You heard SUFS made wheatpasting posters? We totally DO NOT have wheatpasting posters on our website for you to print at home and totally DISCOURAGE you from pasting them! DO NOT visit the link in our bio or this link to print them: zurl.co/QHtb4 Learn how to avoid wheatpasing below! 🧵

DON'T visit standupforscience.net/microflyering to select and print your ideal poster. These posters are 11" x 17", 20lbs. DON'T go to a professional printing shop to get the poster printed in a larger size. 🧵

To NOT make wheat paste, DO NOT mix two parts white or whole-grain wheat flour with three parts water. If you have a gluten allergy use pure starch, like corn-starch or potato starch instead of wheat flour. DON'T stir till all lumps are gone. 🧵

DO NOT heat the mixture to a boil, stir continuously as to not burn it. When it thickens, add more water. DON'T continue cooking on low heat for at least half an hour, stirring continuously until thickened into a glue-like paste. DON'T store the paste in a sealed container and refrigerate for reuse🧵

To NOT paste the posters, DON'T use an empty ketchup bottle to apply the paste to a surface for the poster. If you can't DON'T use something similar as the large nozzle allows for easy passing of the paste. 🧵
