Glue stick
The simplest and most universal bed adhesion product. Wash off with water between prints. For PETG specifically, the glue stick prevents the print sticking too well to PEI and ripping the surface off on removal.
ABS slurry
Dissolve ABS scraps in acetone to make a thin liquid. Brush onto the bed before printing ABS. The slurry creates a fused bond between the print and the bed surface. Strongest possible ABS adhesion.
