Thanks - I haven't measured it as 1mm but I'd guess it's around that, maybe a touch less. I've read different things about the height - some saying a piece of paper, others saying thickness of a credit card etc.
It is definitely much more than a sheet of paper though so once I reassemble it, I will adjust that accordingly thanks. :)
I picked up a roll of Scotch blue painter tape on the way home tonight. It's 3M, and I think has 2090 written on which I'd seen someone else say they have good results with.
The glass is fine up to really high temperatures as it's boroscillicate stuff and I've had it up to over 110C so far.
I'll see if I have another empty acetone tub around still to see if there's a label but yeah, the wife will have some. I'd read that NVR acetone generally wasn't good stuff to use though due to other ingredients they mix in. Won't hurt to try I suppose.
PLA temp I've tried between 185 and 200 (possibly higher, I forget). It extrudes easily.
Anyway, I'm just rebuilding this new extruder assembly. I've got the stepper to fit correctly now, but just found there's no means of attaching the damn hot end to the housing!! The old PLA one had two bolts the went through the side of the plastic on the hot end to secure it, but the new housing has no holes and, as they hung lower than the rest of it, I can't just drill a couple since they need to be positioned where there's actually no plastic on the new ABS piece. If that makes any sense!
So the slot around the upmost part of the hot end, sits pround of the new housing. I think I will have to make a piece of ally that sits across the whole foot of it and goes through the groove in question to secure the hot end in place.
Not feeling too motivated though as my garage is freezing and I've just been drained by the kids throwing a tantrum when I was settling them to bed!
Maybe time to just have a beer and ponder it until later this evening. :)

From my experience PLA on glass should be a quite reliable, even more if the bed is heated mildly like 50-60C - if glass on heated bed reaches like full abs temperatures the glass may crack and break.
Perhaps there is something else wrong, with the acetone or temperatures. Imo, try hijacking your girlfriend/wife supplies for some nail polish remover which at content says only acetone and water, and try with that one instead, just to be sure. Or perhaps your extruder pla temperature is too low and plastic gets cooler before reaches the bed, hence wont stick, so try measure heater temperature with a tmermocouple multimeter to check if thats the case.
