Yeah, I dry my filament (especially PETG) with one of those too. I don’t have to use glue, it just makes PETG easier to remove from the plate. Otherwise it can stick to the plate too well (had a case where I removed the model with some of the PEI coating).
Ah so you're using it as a removal agent vs a sticking agent. That's interesting. I am using the stock mk3s plate and recently bought a textured plate. I haven't had any issues with stuff sticking yet, but I haven't printed anything that has a large area on the bed. Everything I stand up, although I'm experimenting with lithophanes and that's giving me a whole new level of pain in the ass to deal with.
