Follow the directions (and double down on 'em)
I was struggling with bed adhesion while using Polymaker's PolyMax PC on a Lulzbot Mini. Ultimately, I achieved some level of reliability with Wolfbite Mega, but it wasn't simple. My formula involves:1) Flip the modular print bed to glass-side up and test to see if Z-axis offset adjustment is required (this can be skipped if you just always print on glass)2) Enclose the printer (the Mini is normally an open-frame setup)3) Clean the glass carefully with water on a shop towel EVERY TIME (some people get away without this but not me)4) Heat the bed to 25-40C5) Apply Wolfbite Mega and allow to dry for 10 minutes6) Repeat step 5 once7) Print, with a very wide Brim. My last successful print was with brim line count set to 23.I have been able to print parts with a print time of just over two hours with this method. When doing this for the first time, be prepared to adjust the printer's z-axis offset (which for me is trial-and-error). The Mini has auto-leveling so I have no advice for printers that do not have that feature.Once you open the bottle, it's only good for about a month. I went through a lot of it with this method. I hope it comes back in stock (it's "Currently Unavailable" as I write this).

The only thing that stuck was my disappointment.
After purchasing Wolfbite Nitro for Nylon WolfBite NITRO Premium Heatbed Adhesion Solution for Nylon - 4 oz. I thought I would give Wolfbite MEGA WolfBite MEGA Premium Heatbed Adhesion Solution for PC & PC/ABS - 2 oz. a try. I was highly disappointed and have yet to get a successful print using this stuff. I am almost out of the entire 2oz bottle just trying to get my print to stick, not to mention that PC is very expensive and I wasted at least a half a pound. I have tried 3 different polycarbonates, applying a thick layer of Wolfbite MEGA vs a thin layer, microwaved bottle for 10 sec a few times as recommended on instructions etc....My old methods of getting PC to stick to glass are much better and this does not live up to my expectations for the price. I am printing with an Airwolf HD2x printer with heated bed of 120-125.I have not tried this with PC/ABS. I also dont like that the foam applicator brush does not fit properly in the bottle. When you go to dip the brush, the side of it rubs on both sides of the bottle causing the adhesion fluid to drip down the outside of the bottle if you are not careful. This doesn't happen on the larger 4oz bottle.Your results may vary, but I am not impressed with this stuff at all.

Works but the "low odor" claim is a lie lol
this stuff works amazing on glass bed heated to 100c for my Polymaker PC-Max - i have a fully enclosed AND vented out my window, if i dont have my exhaust fan on strong, the whole room will smell of a very sour, vineger type of smell, and it irritates the HECK out of my throat. cant be good for u, but it works, so... keep exhaust fan on high lol, would love to know what is evaporating off of this that makes it smell so sour, and hurt my throat/lungs

WORKED FOR ME! (medium sized prints)
Admittedly I'm a novice when it comes to 3D printing this worked for me with a Lulzbot Mini 2 and PC-MAX.When following the Lulzbot suggestion of gluestick on the PEI sheet, I was getting successful small prints, but no matter what I did (increasing bed temp to 105C, lowering Z-offset to oversquish) corners and edges on larger (medium?) sized prints would lift, up up and away.Out of desperation I tried this rather expensive bottle of goo. Success! Admittedly I did raise the temp even more to 115C since the instructions said 130-140C (didn't want to max out the bed) AND I'm printing "medium" sized objects, but this works great for my purposes. Objects printed were about 10cm X, 4cm Y, and 5cm Z. Also a flat sheet around 15cm X, 10cm Y, and 1cm Z.For smaller prints, I found that a coating could be used multiple times.I just opened my bottle, not sure if it actually expires after 30 days but if you need to print something and are getting lifts, give this a try, it might work for you like it does for me!

WolfBite products are good - not the best adhesion system
WolfBite products are good - not the best adhesion system, but suits very well. Had to put one more layer after each print to do it's job; after each print easily pull out of the bed (is an obvious advantage, but must take care on fragile structures adding skirts to prevent slippery jams).Pro's: clean, soft and good looking (transparent) layer onto your bed; easily pull-out-of-the bed system;Cons: bed must be warm/hot, depending on material (PLA≈50ºC, ABS≈130ºC)

I was using this wolfbite for a last 2-3 years to print PLA and ABS on the heated bed with glass
I was using this wolfbite for a last 2-3 years to print PLA and ABS on the heated bed with glass. It works great for me. The only recommendation from me - do not use the applicator which they send with it, I use a small amount and apply it with a paper towel.

This stuff work great
Using this stuff with PC-MAX filament and the glass bed at 90 deg C. A small skirt is all that is needed, no need for a raft. Did find that it works best if you apply it to the bed right before printing. If you wait a day or so before printing it is less effective. Prints do not warp and they are easy to scrape off the glass.

Good but not the best
It's good but like it's been said it's not the best one out there, there are A couple better for slightly lower Cost but better adhesion
