Surface recommendation for PS612-CF filament

I want to start printing using Polymaker PA612-CF and ASA filaments. I have the advanced filtration kit coming on Monday, so making sure I’ve got everything I need (including preparation for heartbreak and disappointment 🙂 to give them a try on my C1+. I expect ASA will be fine on the smooth sheet that came with the C1, but I’m seeing that nylon is more challenging.

My plate inventory is: Prusa smooth 1 new, one beat to hell, 2 Prusa satin - both good, Prusa textured - practically unused, and a Cryogrip Glacier. I’d rather use the Glacier as it’s the cheapest to replace if I screw it up… Can I make it work?

Seems like anything I use will need a coating, so will order a stick of magigoo or whatever recommended coating I get here.

So, what would those with experience recommend I use?

Should be PA612, but for some reason the site is being uncooperative with my attempt to edit…

According to BIQUs website, the Cryogrip glacier is compatible with PA, but the nozzle temperature shouldn't be above 300°C

I don't know how you found anything on that mess of a website... I don't see any reference to the glacier, only the cryogrip "pro"...  And no mention of Prusa compatibility, but oddly enough we have one.

I see it now. They do say PA, which is good. They say no glue either. I guess I'll try it dry... Should be "fun".
