Had his problem with the first print using pla...
I adjusted the height. Brim looked smooth not rounded.

Cleaned the glass. Then a little bit of hair spray (Aquanet).
Never had the issue again.

Also used this with ABS instead of Kapton tape. Much easier.

Tried the Elmers glue stick (not much luck. May not have put enough down).
Hair spray is a bit of a pain removing , just used alcohol and changed rag often.

Yes i agree. You really need the afhesive on the plate. Just an fyi, the hairspray washes right off in warm water
