Kreatos Glue Stick for Build Plate

Non-Toxic, Easy to Clean

A PVP-based glue stick for 3D printer build plate adhesion. The simple, non-toxic solution to first-layer adhesion problems.

What it is

Sometimes the answer to bed adhesion is not a coated build plate, a heated chamber, or a complex surface treatment. It is a glue stick. PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) provides reliable first-layer adhesion across most filament types, washes off with water, and does not leave permanent residue on your bed. It is the simple, non-toxic solution that has worked for years and still works now. Especially useful for PETG, ABS, nylon, and other filaments that fight smooth glass beds.

Best for

  • 3D printer build plate adhesion
  • Glass build plates
  • PEI sheets (light application)
  • Difficult-to-adhere filaments (PETG, ABS, nylon)
  • First-layer reliability across most FDM materials

What it does well

  • Reliable first-layer adhesion
  • Compatible with most filament types
  • Non-toxic
  • Washes off with water
  • Easy to apply, easy to remove
  • No permanent residue

Notes: Apply a thin layer to a clean build plate before printing. Re-apply when adhesion drops. Wash off with warm water and a soft cloth between major maintenance cycles.
