    For ABS, it sticks like guilt.
    The method I use is glue stick spread out with a wet paper towel for an even, thin layer, if the part sticks too well I just put water around the edges and let it sip under the print, after a while it unglues itself.

    By the way, I use regular glass for the print bed, with the Kapton tape on top I don't get any problems of cracking due to the expansion/contraction of the glass and print.
