Would this be a good idea? The bottom surface of the printed things would be way more flat. Anyone tested this? Any reason why i shouldnt test it?

I have printed on the smooth side. At first the prints stuck well. Then the border started releasing. I tried brim but that did not help. Tried a glue stick which worked but it took away from the smooth finish. Tried a very light coating of hairspray and it worked well.
