I use the purple glue stick for ABS at 110c with no issues. Ive only had one print lift off ever.
I also dont wipe and reapply every print, I just add more glue to the plate. I can normally get about 4 prints before I have to switch to my other sheet of glass and clean the other.
I REALLY dont want to use ABS juice because of the chemicals and the smell.

ABS juice works well if it is used on top of Kapton tape, but this is hassle. Elmers glue is easy and cheap to use if I can get it to work. I am going to try Floyd's method but my printer is in bits again while I do yet another mod.

Acetone is not particularly toxic. It is produced naturally in the body after all. It is best to avoid breathing it in though.
For me, ABS juice did not work if applied directly on glass. The print didn't just lift in a corner, it completely dislodged even with the glass at 110 deg C.

I find Aqua Net hairspray works very good with PLA and ABS, just cover the bed lightly before every print. Takes just a couple seconds and don't have to deal with brushes or tape.
But you have to worry about highly flammable sticky hairspray getting over everything....

I've been spraying it on the beds with no covers on anything for almost a year now. I would think its safer how we use it rather than the fumes getting sucked up by a hair dryer.
I'd say acetone is more flammable than hairspray anyway.

Actually, the aerosol in the hairspray is way more flammable and in larger quantities than what little acetone evaporates from me wiping some abs juice on a cold mirror.
How do you deal with all the buildup and over spray that gets everywhere? I wipe on abs juice and it easily scrapes off for easy disposal. I use less acetone applying the abs juice than a woman would spend cleaning her nails.

I spray it on the bed, not everywhere else. I don't have any build up elsewhere.
