ABS juice works super for PLA as well...

I am not a fan of Buildtak since it has to be replaced after 50 uses or so..it is a consumable.

(For new users: ABS-juice is easily made by putting small amounts of ABS-filament in a glass-jar with aceton, then brush it on the print surface)

Elmer's purple glue stick.
Dissolve 1 stick in 650 ml H2O.
Use a smaller squeeze bottle and spread around with cotton square (like found in hospital).
Allow to dry with or without heat gun, hair dryer.
Process works on Kapton sheets as well.
Leave fan off for 1st 1 mm or so.
I purchased a Print-N-Z ZEBRA build plate for my Replicator. It works on NinjaFlex, Semi-Flex, PLA, ABS, HIPS (all I tried so far) with or without heated bed.
I am getting one for my CubeX Duo instead of a heated build plate, it works perfect every time and is saving me $ on Kapton sheets. It will have paid for itself in the next few months.

For those not living in the US: Elmer's purple glue stick is a PVA-based glue stick. Might as well just buy a bottle of PVA glue.

Thanks Mikk36.
I was about to buy some Elmers on EBAY, just to try instead of my PVA solution I use now

Any specific issues with PVA for looking at other solutions?

My only reason is that some times the bond is too strong when using PVA.

So right... if just hairspray was just hairspray....
But hairspray is not just hairspray...
Some work some doesn't...

Ah, that is true I am sure. Maybe I was just lucky and chose a good/"correct" one rather than a poor one and thinking hairspray was no good.

Dissolve it more if it's too strong.
