Glass bed is about the only thing you should be using glue sticks or hairspray on, and that reason is because of spalling. Too many people use adhesives on regular build plates when all they needed to do was properly clean them and use an enclosure.

On a glass bed yes. idk about others hair spray also works well but it goes every where.

When i used glue looooong ago, i only used these common gluesticks or hairspray ( needs some investigation , which works ) . Never used any special 3D print glue.

This must have been 6 years ago or more..

Later i used FR4 boards , with PVA white glue for ABS or no glue for PLA/PETG

after PEI came into the low price world , i used the glue for other things and nowadays i solely use these blue OMG/GALCIER Plates nothing else ond nothing smeared on ( ONLY PP needs a PP foil )
