Recent Prusament PETG spools seems to tangle easily

This is the third brand new spool of Prusament PETG that I've had to watch on my C1 because of tangles. I basically have had to switch to Overture and don't trust Prusament. Too many failed prints. I came home 1hr into a 2hr print to this (actually this is after I untangled it and it's still a mess). I can't trust these spools. The worst is the cardboard insert where for my high temp filaments I have to use m4-63 screws to hold the spool together or the glue melts in the dryer and the spool comes apart. Why would they put PP or PA filament on a spool that can't handle the drying temperature without a hack?

Buried in the huge announcement pack yesterday was the announcement that the new spools will not be using cardboard ...

Cheerio,

Cheerio,

About time. I'm partially sad because my long screws will have to go back into the jar.
