Shake and apply a layer.
Apply a layer with the pen or the Glide applicator. Over-application is the most common cause of a poor first layer, so most grades (Original, Supergrip, PC, HT and Metal) only need a light, even coat.
One formulation per material family.

Glass; also Kapton, PEI and other flexible sheets.
Application
Apply liberally; a second coat for the more difficult prints.
Release
On cooling, or apply water around the part off the printer.
High-temperature polymers.
Rated for
Build Surfaces
Glass; also high-temperature Garolite, Kapton, PEI and similar sheets.
Application
One thin layer; re-apply for every print.
Release
On cooling, 30-40°C below print temperature.
Metal filament.
Rated for
Build Surfaces
Glass and PEI coated steel.
Application
One thin layer; re-apply for each print.
Release
Soak the build plate in water for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Magigoo is not simply a glue. It is a thermally switched interface. At print temperature the polymer layer forms a strong chemical bond with your first layer. As the plate cools below the switching point, that bond collapses and the part lifts off, typically with a 30–40 °C drop and no scraper or plate damage.
Apply a layer with the pen or the Glide applicator. Over-application is the most common cause of a poor first layer, so most grades (Original, Supergrip, PC, HT and Metal) only need a light, even coat.
Once printing is done, just let the bed cool naturally. The same polymer that gripped your part now lets go. Flexible plate? Just bend. Glass? Flick with a finger (certain materials do not release fully and would require a bit more than that).
The same coat carries multiple prints. When you do need to refresh, a damp cloth (with water) cleans the plate completely. No alcohol, no acetone, no scraping.
Same chemistry, five times the bottle, and a roller instead of a nib. Magigoo Glide is built for large-format machines and print farms where a pen stops being practical.

A peek inside real print rooms around the world.
Bed adhesion is the cheapest part of a print and the most expensive thing to get wrong. Twenty hours of machine time, a spool of PA-CF and an engineer's afternoon — against a few cents of adhesive. Here is what the alternatives actually cost you.
Handling Every Magigoo grade is water-based, non-flammable and free of solvents and aerosol propellants. Precautions differ by grade — Magigoo PP and PP-GF require gloves and eye protection. We publish a safety data sheet for every grade.
