Don’t spend $40 on bed adhesives and “polymer level glue” make it yourself for cheaper!
Add 50ml water + 50ml 99% alcohol + 1g powder
Each bag is 5grams (if you get multiple it’s packed in the same bag) so you can make up to 500ml which should last for thousands of prints
if using the entire bag mix 250:250:5
250ml water 250ml alcohol 5 grams powder
Mix thoroughly and apply to hot bed above 90c with either a spray bottle or a acrylic paint marker. This should Vaporise the goop and this should in turn leave a thin film of PVA powder on the bed increasing adhesion and this will also act as a release agent.
Apply every 5-10 prints for consistency sticking parts down.
Customer Reviews
I would not recommend that you order more than 1 unit of this at a time - I ordered 4 and it all arrived in a single 20g lot. Great if I was making up a couple of litres in a single container, but a right 'PITA' for making up 500ml at a time.
Normal kitchen scales struggle to measure out 5gms at a time and the mess it can leave trying to get it out of the 'bulk' pack is a challenge to clean up as the powder is so fine.
As for its adhesion qualities I'm just about to try it for the first time
Not gonna lie, whoops, the description does infact say 'Each bag is 5g' but usually when packing we dump in a larger order into one big bag to save on using extra bags. As of 1st of August this is now clarified but whoops
It work i have a spray bottle by all my printers
I got this as I was having issues with 1st layer adhesion with PC. Filament was dried, used gluesticks, nothing worked. Sides were lifting, stringiness here and there. Gave this a mix with IPA and water and I'll let the results speak for itself. A must have for PC for me.
I followed the instructions and it produced a great product. Things stick to the build plate and come off easily whenit cools down. And it lasts as you only use a very small amount. It is also a lot cheaper than the other ones. It alsodoesnt leave marks on the print base.
Made neat into 70% iso alcohol and works brilliantly.
