        <title>Remove Buildtak glue from aluminium heating bed</title>
        <description> Hi everyone!

I own a Flashforge Creator Pro and just removed the blue printing mat and want to replace it with a glass bed. I removed the mat now, but there is a lot of glue stuck to the aluminium bed... i tried using a sponge, but it is reeeeaaaally slow and i wanted to ask if you could give me some advice how to clean the bed. acetone? limonene? rubbing alcohol?

Thank in advance!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I tried BuildTak on my printers just sticking it to the glass.  It didn't last long enough for what you paid for it, so I removed it too.  When I pulled mine off, the glue was left on the glass.  In my case, I was able to push the glue with my fingers and it started to roll up.  Once I had it rolled I was able to grab a hold with a pair of pliers and slowly pulled the glue off in almost one sheet.  Beyond that, I cleaned the glass with the usual glass cleaners, but didn't have any big issues pulling up the glue from the Buildtak sheet.  Might be a different story on something besides glass though, but that was my experience with removing BuildTak.]]></description>

i'm a bit afraid to scratch the surface of the bed. i will buy some isopropyl and hopefully that will help me. do you think i should heat up the bed as well?]]></description>
