Has anyone had success with magigoo?

I’ve tried using it to improve bed adhesion on my R2 but it seems to do the opposite. Even the smallest amount of the stuff feels like an oil-slick and nothing will stick to it. Only by scraping off every tiny bit of the stuff will allow melted filament to stick to my build plate again.

Has anyone had any luck with the stuff at all? I don’t know what I could be doing wrong. Maybe it’s only for glass beds? I’m using buildtak.

 

I've used it but mainly as a release agent for PLA

 

Apparently the trick is to let it dry for at least 20 minutes before printing. Then it works much like a glue stick but I noticed it's much easier getting the model off the bed when it's finished.

 

I've also used it mainly as a release agent, but prefer hair spray because the latter doesn't leave as much visible residue
