I used to use cheap picture frame glass. Borosilicate glass has better thermal resistance, particularly to more rapid temperature changes, but I’ve never had a thermal fracture from Dollar store picture frame glass.
Ove tried all kinds of things for adhesion. Hairspray, glue stick, even some specialty mixes for the job. With ABS, I found that a slurry of ABS and acetone worked about as well as anything, and better than most things.
Now I print on PEI, and find that it works pretty well. I no longer use ABS to print much at all, since I started working with PETg. The only thing that I miss about ABS is vapour smoothing (Putting the part in an enclosure with acetone on the bottom and letting the acetone vapour melt away the ridges on the print.)
The PEI coated spring steel plate works nicely, and because you can flex it, prints tend to come off fairly easily, though some adhere TOO well, and are difficult to remove. I like the smooth plates instead of the textured ones, but I have both, and both work fairly well, once they’ve been cleaned thoroughly.
