Hi all,

I've been using a Replicator 2X for over a year, and until recently everything worked well, but now it seems that the hairspray adhesion trick is no longer working. I was using Aquanet Extra Super Hold with no problems - I'd spray down a layer, let it dry for a minute or two, and the ABS would hold fast.

I used up the can I'd had, and went out and bought the exact same type, but the prints wouldn't stick. Even worse, the hairspray would dry up and become slippery making the prints slide even worse than with no hairspray. I figured that I'd just gotten a punk can of hairspray, so I tried Aussie Instant Freeze, but had the same results. I even tried some of my wife's expensive salon spray, but the same thing would happen - it would stay tacky for a few minutes then dry out and get slippery.

Has anyone else had this problem? Have the hairspray companies perhaps changed their formulation since I bought that first can of Aquanet? It's perplexing, and frustrating.
