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.

So I guess that's 0.0318% of users on this board!

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...

PLA will stick like crazy to bare clean glass heated to around 50 to 60.

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...
