They probably could work, but the cost does not ;) - the eyelets on Amazon are 5 quid for 200, should keep me in buisness for a while if they work out :haha:

Probably a blessing in disguise, as I'd realised I'd missed the side reflectors and the tie down loops on the front and back of the 1 ton trailer model after I had set the print running - but still a full beds worth of blue tape wasted...

Hehe, I tried the blue tape, then with hairspray & it would lift every time, when I moved to glass & a pukka pritt-stick, I’ve never looked back.
It’s got to be a proper pritt-stick though & bed at 50 to 60 degrees
