  1. Does anyone have any advice about spraying frozen walls? I'm putting up a piece tonight ahead of an event tomorrow, unfortunately the temperatures will be sub-zero, the wall's surface will be frosty, and I was wondering about the effects this might have on the paint. For instance, will a heavy frost affect the way the paint dries? Will the paint stick? Does anyone have any useful techniques for spraying in cold weather? Any advice appreciated! cheers
  2. That's the original problem, maybe I haven't made this clear enough yet. I can't get near enough to the wall to use duct tape. Cheers anyway. It sounds like the best technique is to just hope it turns out. You should get those paranoid nasal membranes of yours fixed. ;) and.. you should stop sniffing your fingers - disgusting habit, that.
  3. This is what I'd been hearing, but there's no other way of doing it. The house is slightly below the road and the gap between them is at least a couple of metres. So using the roller on its own attached to the end of a pole won't give me any control over the design. I suppose I could get in close to the wall if I used a ladder, but then getting away would be harder. So like I say, if anyone who's done anything similar before can give me any tips on best techniques to avoid ending up with something messy I'd appreciate it. I've made a frame for the stencil to make it easier to manage and someone else will be holding this up for me, yeah also with poles - I know it's crazy - but what else can I do? I can't see myself having more than 5 mins to get it done. I think your ethics & mine don't look alike. For me, if a stencil belongs somewhere, I'm not going to forget it just because someone will have to clean it up.
  4. So what you're saying is hands off anything that isn't public property & unless you can be certain it's public property don't spray it? I don't agree with that & from the tags & stencils plastering hundreds of private walls just about everywhere I'd say most other artists don't go along with that either. It doesn't really matter here because this isn't some random person. So the roller won't mess things up? No special techniques I should know about? cheers
  5. Is there some kind of unwritten rule about leaving houses alone?
  6. I've got a difficult stencil to put up which is going to have to be done using a roller tied to the end of pole. The stencil's bigger than me - 2m x 2m and access is going to be a problem. There's a deep 2 or 3m trench to be leant across to get to the wall, and on the other side of the wall there'll be people sleeping. Using a roller & fitting it & the stencil to poles seems like the fastest way of doing this - but I've never used one before and I've heard all sorts of bad things about rollers messing everything up. Is this true? Has anyone got any advice about keeping the mess to a minimum? Cheers.
