underworld 22/01/03 also feautring luke slater pnau ---------------------- I am going to this concert, and have seen the promo posters stuck on walls all around my major city,. I am going in to town next friday and I am going to try to take one of these, to stick on my wall,.. my only problem is that appparantly they are a real fukker to remove,.. I was wondering if anyone has some tips for removing these with the minimal damage to the poster,. I think they use some type of glue to put it on. any suggestions? |

Just ask the guy organising the gig to give you one. |

that wouldn't work if it was glued on,. but maybe I can salvage a middle section if they only did the outside,. more suggestions? |

A friend and I use dto do this as a hobby, his room was covered in them :) Best time to do it is a few hours after its rained, it seems to loosen the glue without softening the paper. Take 2 corners and pull firmly at the same speed. You will probably rip 2 out of 3 posters, even when you get good at it. You should try several and just keep the one you get off least ripped. |

I think putting these posters up is illeagal and is done through dodgy means (I have a friend of a friend who does this :P) so I think it'd be hard to get |

Salt Water should do the trick I think. Also an alcohol based solution will. Maybe throw a pint over it or something. |

Refund, Maybe you should try the source. Find out where they came from and see if you can go down and take a few copies. They should be fairly resonable, hell maybe you'll be able to get more off them in the future. |

Yes, get in contact and say you'll put one up in your front room window :) |

these posters are usually just stuck up with dough glue. its just a mix of water and flour. its kinda like clag. they should come unstuck fairly easily with water. [ +20rp3 ] |

If you have a portable steamer, that will remove them. |

would an iron work? |

A battery-powered iron, perhaps. Anything that will cause moisture will make them easier to remove. You can also try record stores as well. For example, the Newbury Comics store around here often has a box of discarded posters that they need to get rid of; you can take whatever you'd like. Sometimes it's crap, but sometimes it's good. Sam Goody does the same thing. |
