			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;m still getting great results with 1 layer of 3m blue painters tape on cheap mirrors and a thin coat of the purple glue stick. I&#039;ve had a few parts sit for about 10-12 hours and still be hard to pull off. I&#039;m sure I would have if it weren&#039;t for the tape. Being new to this I like having that little buffer between my nozzle and anything that could damage it. I&#039;ll try rinsing it under water next time I have a real sticker. I&#039;ve found that the glue stick washes away better with warm water.</p><p> I can&#039;t thank you all enough for all of the tips. They&#039;ve been a huge help.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I have peeled chips out of most picture frame glass that I have used.&nbsp; Sometimes the print does it by itself.&nbsp; The print will cool, pop loose, and lift easily off the glass with a little sliver stuck to the bottom.&nbsp; It&#039;s never happened to me with borosilicate though.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just took a chunk out of my glass last night trying to get one off that I&#039;d left to cool and forgot about... Looks like I&#039;ve got no more sticking problems now. Might ditch the brim now it&#039;s in no danger of peeling up. <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just changed brand of hairspray to Tresemme Freeze Hold (black can from woolies in Aus) and it&#039;s working much better.<br />Method:<br /></p><ul><li><p>Nice thick layer onto gently abraded glass</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Cooked for a while on the heated bed</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Brief spray between prints to top up where the outline was</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Bed needs to cool a bit before the print comes off</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Still using 3mm brim</p></li></ul><p>Haven&#039;t done anything phenomenally long yet, but it&#039;s much easier than it was. Original spray was coming away with the prints, which was pretty useless.<br />If you&#039;re struggling with spray, change brand, look for different ingredients on the list. &quot;[insert long organic chemistry formal name here]-copolymer&quot; is a good sign.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>@Ggunners. Thanks again. I acctually have 3 glass pieces and started doing just that. Well I still like the painters tape on the glass. But for about week or so now, a light coat of glue stick is doing a fantastic job.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>For hairspray, look for Acrylates Copolymer or Vinyl in the ingredients.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see any reason to clean the bed between prints if you are just going to reapply the hairspray.&nbsp; Subsequent layers of hairspray and ABS residue are only going to improve the stick.</p>]]></description>
