After decades of struggling with grease, oil, paint, steel plates, and whatever, we have gone back to square one. We built a heavy duty galvanized frame with heavy duty wire squares between, mounted on steel posts. The wire squares give us an infinite number of places to clip clothes pins or whatever. Bring your own paper. I am contemplating stealing a roll of 40" butcher paper from the front of Home Depot, or maybe just wrapping everything I buy from them in a nice 40X40 sheet of the stuff.
What this guy said, except the stealing part.
If you are close to a large commercial printshop, that has half or full web presses, “web ends”, the paper/chip ends that protect the rolls of web paper in transit can often be procured for nothing, if you ask politely. I used them for years, until my gun club built a box with a hinged lid that held a roll of paper under the patterning frame, and I didn’t have to bring my own anymore.
Best,
Ted
