Sand the surface enough to remove al trace of shine and then clamp it down to the glass bed all round. I've never had to machine the surface but level it carefully and sometimes a slip paper under any low spots cures that problem. As I said I only print 3 grades of nylon and have never used any adhesion promotion with them just the sanded and cleaned Garolite. The only time I use PVA glue stick withNylon on Garolite is when there is a large surface of the print on the build plate when I use glue stick to REDUCE the adhesion so I can get the part off without damaging the Garolite surface/
What grit sand paper, maybe mine is too smooth?
