No, you just spray it on the bed and let it dry before you start the print. (Takes a couple of coats.) But it works to hold the print down.

Yes, but:
-- I was printing on PEI.
-- The first layer was holding down GREAT. It's the second layer that wouldn't adhere to the first layer. SURELY bed adhesive wouldn't affect this...right?

But print speed and the extrusion multiplier will.

So, slow the print speed? Extrude more or less?

Set your speed to 2600 mm per min.
Then set yor perimeter speed to 50%.
You can speed it up later.
Then increase your extrusion multiplier by .02
Based on what I have seen with your project this will help.
And since know one has mentioned it. It would be easier to print if it was a chevy bowtie.

Too true.....How'd the temp blocks come out? (Now you've got me quite curious, and that's a
dangerous thing....
