I currently have a SD2 with a heated bed (aluminum with Kapton tape on top).

I've seen a couple of videos on how to replace the Kapton tape on the printer bed.

My question is, can I use the wet method to put the tape on or what's the best way to do it?  I have 6 inch wide Kapton tape, so one pass is all I need.

Thanks,

The wet method works fine.
