Experience with Bed Adhesion Agents
Adhesion scale:
- Hopeless - didn't adhere at all
- Evidence of adhesion, but parts come loose too easily
- Blue tape-like adhesion - sticks well but some issues with warping and/or occasional parts coming loose from bed
- Superior to blue tape - stays flat, very few issues with parts loosening
- Kryptonite bond - parts almost never come loose
Finish scale:
- Blue tape-like mottled finish or adhesion agent sticks to part on removal from platform
- Intermediate - glassy and mottled or some adhesion agent comes off with part
- Glassy smooth
