I just removed the buildtak in less than 5 minutes with no hassle, here’s how.Heat the bed only to 100, let it heat for a few minutes to get everything softened. Its very hot, be careful. Use your scraper and lift a corner. Watch the white adhesive layer underneath and ensure it all comes up together by gently lifting any that didn’t lift up fully using the scraper. Be careful not to scratch your bed, this stuff comes up easy. Work along the front edge until you have a whole side up off the plate. Slowly continue to lift the buildtak until the whole thing is off. You will inevitably have some spots off adhesive remaining on the plate. Cut a square of the removed buildtak and use the sticky side to pickup the remaining adhesive from the plate by patting it. Once you think you have it all up use a paper towel and wipe the surface of the build plate. Where you see the paper towel lint is the remaining adhesive, pat it with a new square of the removed buildtak to remove, repeat until no lint sticks to plate.I held off doing this because of reports of it taking 5 hours cleaning adhesive. I’m so glad to have it done now and can’t wait to try out my new glass bed with PEI build surface. http://ift.tt/2gRags1
