[SML] Newspaper Scenic Treatment

[Patrick McCreary]

If whatever you're covering will be re-used, use wheat paste. When we 
want to put heavy texture or odd surfaces on stock flats, we apply 
light-weight muslin with wheat paste, then the decorative coat, then, if 
wanted, a finish coat. At strike, the flats are taken out onto the dock 
and hosed down, the muslin is pulled off, and winds up in the adjacent 
dumpster. Final cleanup is a breeze.

I'm pretty sure Lowe's sells the stuff pre-mixed in 5 gal. buckets, but 
that's a purchase my designer usually makes.
