ABS juice requires Kapton ... and in my experience most ABS prints require it. jimc will defend gluestick to his dying breath but it just doesn't work for me and ABS. The problem with ABS juice is that it sticks to the bottom of the print. In the case of bare glass, it sticks way better to the print than it does to the glass, and it'll peel up -- sometimes during the print itself. The glass is clean underneath, all the juice stuck to the print itself. With the Kapton, it tears off half of whatever is left each print, and after 4-8 prints you have to reapply.

Haha not me. I cant get glue stick to work to save my life. Hairspray is my method if choice.
