Lately I've changed to a PET tape print bed top layer, it works very well for ABS; much more resilient than Kapton, the only time I had to replace the surface was when I accidentally changed the Z calibration and the print nozzle tore through the PET.
It's supposed to work just by itself, but I still like to use glue stick on it because it has the advantage that, if a part sticks too well, I can pour some water around the base of the object and it will slowly infiltrate under it loosening the glue and releasing the part with no effort.
