Works well, but for most work I use glue sticks. Some parts must soak glue for hours, but this stuff comes off much faster. PLA parts with 20% fill have voids that absorb water when soaking. Hours of soaking can fill internal cavities and take days to dry out. If you need your part fast, this would be better.Large flat parts that cover the bed can be a bear to remove so this would be better there too. Anytime you have to soak parts overnight, use this instead. Time is money.

Prevailent T-80 excels in providing a strong and reliable hold, significantly reducing warping issues. It works seamlessly with all types of 3D printing materials. The adhesive is easy to apply, dries quickly, and ensures that prints stay firmly in place. The convenience of auto-ship means I’m never out of stock. Overall, it’s an invaluable tool for consistent, high-quality prints. Highly recommended for both novice and experienced 3D printer users.

This stuff works great! I apply a thin coat to my glass deck, just before printing, allowing the bed to dry as it heats up just before the print. I thin it a bit with water to get the thinnest and smoothest layer possible. It's completely eliminated adhesion failures for me. It's more reliable than the PEI coating that came stock with my printer.

Easy to use, spreads easily, cleans up easily, seemed like I might go through it fast but actually little goes a pretty long way. I previously was not using anything, just kept my slightly textured glass bed super clean (rubbing alcohol) but I feel like an idiot for going years without this. I need to print several large 12inx12in prints on a Ender 5 Plus (2.5 day long prints) and the first did not stick as well as I would like leading to some warping so I picked this up as some insurance for the rest I needed to print and found the first lay goes on tight and clean and then pops off without an issue. It may very well be comparable to other similar products, I don't know, but this is working awesome so I see no reason to experiment. Btw, I picked up extra foam brushes thinking they would need to be disposed but the one that I found in the box (but didn't expect) can just be rinsed out with water and seems like it will last a long while.

I'm still on the fence about this product. I want to like it, but I just can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or if I got a bad batch, or if it's just a bad product. When I apply it it doesn't go on smooth. It almost beads up like water on grease. See the attached photo. It's not a consistent even layer of adhesive. And the adhesive doesn't hold the print like this.What I did as a test is apply the adhesive, it beads up, then I warm up the bed. When it's warm then I reapply which makes a more consistent and even cover with the second application. At the moment of writing this I'm running my print and it's holding which is a good sign. But I don't think I should have to apply so much. Heating up the bed first then applying is hard to do, because the adhesive gets tacky very quickly that way. The directions on the bottle say "Apply Prevailent T-80 to bed surface, heat and allow to dry".The photo is my Bambu Lab A1 Textured PEI plate. It was cleaned with hot soap and water, and wiped with alcohol before applying Prevailent. I've tried this on the Ender 3 v3 SE factory build plate, with the same results. And with my Ender 3 v2 glass bed. And yes I shake the crap out of the bottle before applying. So, am I doing something wrong, or did I get a bad batch?

I don't write reviews, but this product deserves it. I have a production level 3D printer that I use to print prodution parts out of ABS for my small business (quantities in the thousands). When I first started I tried all the tricks to prevent warping and failed prints. I went through countless different build surfaces, countless differnt ABS filaments, tried using glue sticks and hair spray, I messed with just about every printer setting available and just could not find any solution that worked consistantly. The parts would either not stick, stick too well, or be too hard to clean after they finished (atleast at the quantities I print). It was an insanely frustrating and expensive learning curve that spanned over 6 months and hundreds of prints (300+ prints with about a 65% success rate).Then I stumbled upon Prevalent and it changed my whole 3D printing world. I have been using it for about 4 years now and my success rate has sky rocketed to about 99.9%. All my parts stick through the entire print and then come right off the build surface when they are done, EVERY TIME! What was a true game changer for me was that when the parts are done, all I have to do is run them under water and any leftover residue washes right away!I cannot praise/thank Prevailent enough, I DO NOT PRINT WITHOUT IT! It honestly saved my small business! And for me turned 3D printing from a painful shortcut to a way of life! If you are a 3D print veteran, give it a try, you will not be dissapointed! If you are a novice, do yourself a favor; start using Prevailent and SKIP THE PAINFULL LEARNING CURVE!I honestly believe that Prevailent should come standard with every 3D printer!

It works well, better in fact than some other recommended light adhesion glues which I have tried. There is something very interesting about this stuff, it seems really expensive, but an application of adhesive to the print surface can be used more than once, whereas for other adhesives this is not the case. It works well, it's less easy to apply than a glue stick but it's easier to apply evenly. It's almost twenty dollars for a bottle, but a little goes a long way and one application can be use to create more than one print. I expect it'll still turn out to be less economical than the stick based alternative but it's not as expensive as it seems.
