Some screen printers who print on fabric use a spray adhesive to keep the fabric in place while they print. I tried that and found that the spray adhesive smelled terrible and made my floor sticky so I switched to a spreadable adhesive that gets reactivated when cleaned with water called “Table Tac” so that’s what I use. But at a certain point, the adhesive gets too gunked up to keep getting sticky so about once a year I clean it all off and re-apply.

The hardware is removed, cleaned, oiled and then put back on.
All the gunk. So satisfying. So disgusting.
Clean. All clean.
Ahhh. Much better.
