Getting polycarbonate to stick to pei sheet

Greetings all, just wondering does anyone have a way to get PC to stick to the pei (freshly cleaned with isopropyl)
I’m currently using Hobbyking PC filament hot end 270 C heat bed at 120 C. Printer is in an enclosure.
I printed 3 pieces together with a huge brim (i think it was 15 with 0 off set from part) and the only reason the print worked was the fact the first part stayed stuck to the bed

So is there a glue that can be used to help with adhesion or will I be better off placing small pads around the object with a large brim to increase surface area.
Thanks

Finally got PC to stick, turns out the combination of hairspray followed by glue stick applied on top, pads placed around the object and z raised did the trick. The pads were 0.2 mm high bed temp 120 hotend 265. Hope this helps someone
