Build Plate Coating? Blue Painters Tape, Glue or Something else?

Lately I have been using nonscented hairspray on a glass build plate. Works like a charm 99.9% of the time. I don't understand why more people don't do this. It's a really affordable method and seems to work better than anything else.

Is this for use with ABS or PLA?

I have tried different types of tape, and 2 different hairsprays, but NEVER have ABS stick correctly. I purchased a heated build plate from ebay, but it is only that.... still need to figure out how to wire it in and control it in addition to having a better platform for it to be clamped to.
