Sugar water as sticky media for the print

I'm using now Sugar Water for over a month and after some struggling with this funny solution it works just great, over and over again.
My mixture is about 1:1 = 1 part Sugar one part water fully solved during a short warming up.
Make sure that is a 100% saturated mixture and fully solved.

Apply with a cloth a thin first layer, heat up the bed and apply another thin layer of the sugar water solution.
By having a tissue handy I make sure the apply layer is even without drops.

The first layer speed is very important. I use 35 mm/sec, quite lower as the second layer.
Give the print time to adhere to the bed.

Clean your glass bed with a cloth dipped in warm water.

Your part will stick in a tough way. Let cool down the bed and your part will come loose automatically
