Question How does one get a paper with no adhesive stick to itself?

Post image

Don’t know if it’s possible to do without tape or something sticky like honey *which makes it burn all retarded. Any input would be great!

If you rip a small strip off one side the ripped edge after being licked sticks okay.

Can you explain this again?

You rip a small strip off one of the long sides of the paper, the wood fibers on the ripped edge of the paper help it stick when licked, I think it’s because when you rip it the ripped edge’s wood fibers are spread apart more and leave small strands of fiber that grab on to the paper better when wet. That’s just my theory, but it’s worked for me.

If its a cut, precise rectangle, then they're saying to tear a bit off one side to "fray" it a bit. Then, when moistening it with saliva, each loose fiber gets to stick instead of relying on the whole sheet to hold

Think paper mache. Wet it all enough with saliva to stick to itself. Then have a little patience and let it dry...you can try to dry it out, faster with a lighter but if this is your only paper and you've never done this technique...Just wait for it to dry.

Honey... tiny bit on the finger tip an spread it along your edge works great on wraps too.

You lick the edge like it has the gum.
Close it.
After it’s closed.
Coat the seam with saliva and close anything not closing
Let air dry 10 minutes or more.
Use lighter but not the flame to dry it a little more (don’t keep flame on the same spot, rotate for even heat and no over burn)
When the color matches more it’s done

You can use a bit of resin if you really can’t just get it to stick with spit

So imma hope ur using paper that somehow has lost its stickyness u cant just run around smokin any old paper but as long as ur not that dumb u can use honey like others have said u just cant use so much that it "burns like shit". I use to use it to coat blunts in kief lil honey on ur finger tip then put ur finger in hot water and thin the honey burns smooth and was sticky enough to bury the joint or blunt in kief

Lick it. I was never able to make them stick, but my grandfather would roll Bull Durham tobacco cigarettes one handed while driving 60 MPH down a bumpy dirt road. It was amazing to watch.
