Yo mates,
Wild thought,
Is it possible to dissolve GlueStick with IPA/Isopropyl Alcohol or Water or something similar to brush it on the TEXTURED PEI PLATE?
Unfortunately I print almost everything in PetG, the one type of filament that the PEI Textured Plate says you have to use a gluestick barrier on the plate to print. (Or else it destroys the plate)
(Windex is not on the shelfes here in Sweden, I wish since I would use it both for airbrush purposes, 3D-printing and my dirty car windows…)
Could you please help me out with advice mates, how do I “gluestick” my textured PEI plate?
(Using GlueStick ass is only results in large-ass blobs that messes up the printed objects surfaces unsaveable)
Any help mates!!!
May the force be with you mates!
/Silverbullit the Textured PEI Plate owner…
What material are you printing that requires glues stick on the textured pei plate? Most don’t require any.
Bambu does sell a liquid glue stick that should go on much smoother if needed. You can also try hairspray.
Do not use Pritt stick which I see on the photo, it’s relatively expensive and does not hold prints well. Not to say it does not form a smooth trail when applied and does not slide over the surface easily. I personally bought several glue sticks for experiments, and EUR 0.99 for 36g store branded glue stick https://www.barbora.lv/produkti/limes-zimulis-grafia-plus-36-g applies smoother than Bambu stick and holds prints almost as well. Also It looks like you may be pushing it against the plate way too hard.
Oh yeah… I purchased Bambu Labs Liquid Glue Stick, it does not go on smoothly it the film rather cracks up and the capillary forces drags the liquid off to form puddles with thicker edges and a lot of spots with no liquid on at all. (I used dish soap “YES” the testwinning dishsoap, then dried the cleaned plate and go over it with IPA/Isopropyl alcohol) I cleaned it thoroghly in short (A tad OCD here… 
I print most exclusively with PetG,
and the instructions says to use a glue barrieer on PetG in contradiction to most other common filament types (such as PLA asf)
Unless you want more grainy surface, I would just stick with Engineering plate nd a glue stick. PEI plate is mostly used for adhesive free printing. And once you use adhesive, the only reason to use it is grainy finish. PET-G can be printed on PEI without glue stick if you find right filament and parameters. However you most likely will ruin the plate before getting them right.
I have printed using gluestick, however applying the gluestick is a pure nightmare…
And yes I used it and have got a few very nice results with impeccable grain structure,
however it takes like at a minimum 10 attempts to get the gluestick on without to much humungous blobs that effs everything up…
Thus I turn to you knowledgable pros here for advice 
Thanks for the the swift reply D,
Actually nope, I apply minimal pressure also I experimented with different heat settings all the way from the freezer to +40C (in 4 degree increments by simply putting the gluestick inside a zip bag and the filament drier) wich does make some difference but not of the good kind…
Speaking of applied pressure, the blobs are mostly from the turn of the gluestick (gluesticking in a zigzag pattern) or if touch down/lift from applying it in a parallell linear motion. If the path touches a previous glued spot it WILL blob away…
If I still had a record player I would have tried putting the sheets on the recordtable and gluestick on in a circular motion, this might minimize or even prevent the blob scenario that I find totally unavoidable.
PRITT… 
Yeah I was told in some reddit thread “Pritt was the ■■■■” and not truthfully that Pritt is ■■■■ on blabs plates…
Of course a trusting dummie as yours truly bought a big pack of the jumbo sticks on the words of our mates on Reddit…
Also learned that Pritt GlueSticks stinks, well literally stinks, they have this horrible smell that brought my thoughts to like the hunters carrions… phew…
By far the worst gluestick I tried in every aspect, so bonuspoints for your solid piece of advice against Pritt!
I have a bunch more GlueSticks, or rather I had, varying quality.
I got a couple of liquid gluesticks, the 3DLac and BLabs, neither sticks on the PEI which surprised me a lot. (Most BLab products have been quite solid!)
Speaking of other GlueSticks theres a “purple” gluestick that Clas Ohlsson sells in doublepacks (unless they changed to single packs) they are of the better kind, they might be made in the same Chinese factory as a certain Purple Gluestick that is somewhat famous in the United States of America. (Not saying Elmer’s, but it is Elmer’s I’m referring too 
)
Dang youre right, they changed it on the European website also!
It now says that it is not needed on PetG?!?
Can this be trusted?
Earlier it said GlueStick required on;
PETG
TPU
PC/PC-CF
PA/PA-CF/PAHT-CF
However now PetG is removed and marked GlueStick not necessary…
Most mates here claims that PetG will destroy the plate quickly, so now I’m even more confused?!?
A few days ago I’ve read on this forum someone tore a piece of PEI coating when printing PETG after doing so without damage for some time.
A lot is probably going to depend on the specific brand of petg. I use Sunlu and have had no problems on the textured pei plate. I have also used Bambu’s PETG-CF. Then again, I also print both on my Wham bam plate with no issues, but on that plate I do lower the temp maybe 5c per their recommendation - I don’t use the altered gcode to raise the nozzle to reduce first layer squish though.
Print a small cube on a corner and see how it goes…
