Experience with Bed Adhesion Agents

Adhesion scale:

  1. Hopeless - didn't adhere at all
  2. Evidence of adhesion, but parts come loose too easily
  3. Blue tape-like adhesion - sticks well but some issues with warping and/or occasional parts coming loose from bed
  4. Superior to blue tape - stays flat, very few issues with parts loosening
  5. Kryptonite bond - parts almost never come loose

Finish scale:

  1. Blue tape-like mottled finish or adhesion agent sticks to part on removal from platform
  2. Intermediate - glassy and mottled or some adhesion agent comes off with part
  3. Glassy smooth
