Really cool and I've heard people say good things about it. Anybody know if there is a supplier in North America?
edit: Apparently Inventibles carries them in the states. In Canada I've only found staples selling 5.5"x5.5" which is rather small...
Unless you print only ABS or you dont have a glass plate, this would be over kill. PLA will stick like crazy to bare clean glass heated to around 50 to 60.
I have heard good things about it as well, but personally, I don't see the need to spend money unnecessarily.
A bare glass plate (actually a cut down cheap mirror tile) heated to 60C works beautifully for PLA.
Same glass plate (mirror tile) with a generous application of Aqua Net Super Extra Hold hairspray and 105C works a treat for sticking ABS.
A can of the hairspray is only like $3.00 and lasts a long time.

+1...
I tried BT a few months ago and COULD NOT get it to work with ABS. After 20 or so attempts I tore it off the build plate and am happily back to glass and hairspray. Apparently, it is killer for PLA...
Glass and hairspray, that's a crazy idea 
Glass and hairspray, that's a crazy idea
LOL 
yup, crazy idea indeed!
(Elmer's washable school glue stick works, too....)
Glass and hairspray, that's a crazy idea
I guess one could also use it underneath the glass to stick the glass to the bed??
WOOOOAAAAAH.

At least 2 out of 11000 paid attention, I feel so flattered
Make that 3, I do the same.
Make it 3-1/2...I do it on my SD2, but not on the Ord Bot...Ord Bot has no solid platform; just a flexible PCB and a piece of glass, so binder clips are the solution for now.
So I guess that's 0.0318% of users on this board!
Wardjr, nowhere to go but up! And of course we cannot count the silent masses who have adopted your method that are obviously too busy making great prints to post on it

(Silently massed, building the Folger Kossel) Count me as 4th, or 4.5th?
I've used BuildTak on my SD2 for a couple months now. I only print ABS and heat my plate the same as with Kapton. I've had stuff stick so much that I tore the original sheet trying to remove my last print. It worked well, almost too well. Even after cooling, it held firm. I haven't used glass yet, I used this to replace the Kapton. It lasted a long time before I tore it. In my opinion, it is a good product if you don't use glass. Amazon carries it. I purchased the 6.5X6.5 sheets for my SD2.
