			<description><![CDATA[<p>A bit of kapton tape on the edge of the glass should help it from slipping. See step 6 of the SD press rework instructions: <a href="http://support.solidoodle.com/hc/en-us/articles/205224884-Solidoodle-Press-Rework-Kit-Instructions?preview=true">http://support.solidoodle.com/hc/en-us/ … eview=true</a></p><p>Or wrap a bit of paper or foil around the edge of the glass as you slide it in.</p>]]></description>

It needs to be the spray can version, not the pump. On one side use just a little more. Then put that side down on your bed. Heat the bed to about 90 and then let it cool. Do this at least three times to dry the hairspray and you should be good for both the glass not moving and prints sticking for several days at minimum.</p>]]></description>

If PLA then yes but not directly. You can put blue painters tape on the metal and turn off the heat. PLA sticks very well to cool painters tape. </p><p>Also just go by the hardware store and by some cheap 8 x 10 picture frame glass. It is a few bucks each and buy a glass cutter and do the cutting yourself. It is very easy.</p>]]></description>
