UK hairspray brand?

OK, so I never expected to be asking about hairspray on any forum but here goes......smiling smiley

My printer kit came with a can of hairspray to help stick items to the heated bed. It works incredibly well . I have no adhesions issues to the glass plate on my heated bed with PLA yet it loosens itself when the temperature drops. By comparison, without it the edges curl up and I can't complete prints.

The problem is that the can I have is coming to an end and I'm trying to find a UK equivalent - this can was from Spain. I've been getting strange looks in my local supermarket - I've been back a few times recently and each time buy only a can of hairspray! confused smiley

Can anyone recommend a brand of hairspray, available in the UK, that works, please?

I've attached photos of the can I have.

Thanks.

Richard

I use Sainsbury's basics hairspray on my glass heatbed. Super-cheap (less than £1 a can, I think).

(and I never thought that I'd be answering a question about hairspray on a forum!)

Thanks, David, I'll try Sainsburys!

Right, tried Sainsbury's and I concur with David - their basics range hairspray works well! And I can hardly believe the price - 35p per can!

Thanks, David!
