Will it work with ASA?

It works with ASA. The other persons answer refers to it sticking too well, and having chunks taken out of their glass. In our experience, this can occur if you print at a hotter than recommended bed temp, if you don't let your bed fully cool before removing the part, or if you are using low quality soda lime glass instead of borosilicate. Example: For ABS we recommend printing at 80C and ASA at 100C. If you print ABS at 110C you can get extreme adhesion. We have encountered several printers that are set to 80C, but when measured with an external temp gun they are actually at 110-115C. We once had a customer with a print farm of 80 printers. 40 of one printer brand and 40 were another brand printer. 20 printers of one brand were encountering extreme adhesion where the part was difficult to remove when cooled. BED WELD was working as expected on the other printers. The 20 printers that had issues were checked with an infrared temp gun and were over 110C when the printer was set to 80C. They reduced their printer temps to compensate and the extreme adhesion was no longer an issue. If you print at the recommended bed temp, confirm your bed is actually at that temperature, and wait for the bed to cool, then you should not experience any difficulty removing the part. The parts normally release themselves from the bed, or with little effort. If you accidentally print at too hot of a temperature, or if you encounter extreme adhesion, then we have an easy workaround posted on the FAQ page of our support site.

What's your recommended way to remove the residue from an empty bed?

The easiest way to remove the coating from the bed is to rinse the build plate under warm water. Using dish soap and a sponge should speed the process. Bed Weld is water soluble so it should come off easily. If for some reason you have a printer where the bed can not be removed, then some customers have used isopropyl alcohol and paper towels to remove. If using isopropyl alcohol, we recommend using 99% IPA as we have seen some 70/30 IPA leave an invisible coating on the surface that can make Bed Weld more difficult to spread smoothly.

I don't understand why it has stopped working. It worked great for a week but now it looses adhesion mid way through the prints. Any suggestions?

Make sure economy mode is turned "Off". We have started to see some printers that are shipping with an "Economy" mode enabled. Creality CR10's for example. This feature turns off the bed heater to conserve energy. When the bed cools the coating is designed to release the part from the bed. It is critical to make sure that the bed stays at a constant temperature until the print is completed.

What happens if you print tpu on it? does it not stick at all or too well?

TPU will stick well. Some people feel it works well with TPU. The reason we state that it isn’t supported is because we still detect some corner lifting on some warp stress test that we perform on each filament type. Our test are done without a brim so adding a brim may resolve the corner lifting on difficult parts. Extreme adhesion should not happen with TPU. If you encounter extreme adhesion you can follow the tips in the user guide, or on our web faqs for an easy part removal method.
