We have an art project where we will be pasting paper sheets with
outlines
on oilboard. The oilboard will be first screwed onto a construction
fence.
Then after 10 days we will have to remove it. We can then simply
unscrew
the oilboard.

One of the planners of the project suggested this powdered paste:

The construction site can supply us with water from across the
street. But
this powder isn't available locally, and is more expensive to have
shipped
from Amazon.

But why this powder? There seem to be many wallpaper pastes
available. And
why not a premixed in 5 gallon drums? We will have 2,200 square feet
of
regular paper to paste. So the paper will be a lot thinner than
wallpaper.
And hopefully the paste won't absorb into the paper too much.

At my local Lowes I find two 5-gal options. I see one is for all
weights,
and the other for medium to heavy weight. I would want all weights.

Then the next question is what thickness nap rollers do we want. We
plan to
put the paste on the oilboard, then unroll each 20"x60" sheet onto it.

Further thinking results in THE PLAN...

1. roll white glue onto oil board and let dry

2. fasten oil board to fence

3. spritz oil board with water (think garden sprayer)

4. squeegee paper sheets to oil board.

- OR -

Squeegee paper sheets to oil board before oilboard is fastened to fence.
