Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all? (sh.itjust.works)

I've had a MK4S for over a week now, and 100% of the prints I've tried to make on the textured sheets have partially or totally failed. PLA prints beautifully on the smooth sheet, but PLA, PETG and ABS, I think I could print on the surface of a 10 inch tank of oil with more success than the textured sheet. Plastic doesn't stick to it. I've wiped it with isopopyl, I've washed it with dawn...it's a bad print surface and I want my money back.

So, to clarify, you've EVER gotten yours to work? EVERY SINGLE part I've printed on that sheet has partially or totally failed, and I've cleaned it repeatedly.

I've been printing on glass and glue stick since the Obama administration, and that actually works. You know what? Fuck magnetic sheets, I'm going back to glass and binder clips, because they actually goddamn motherfucking work. I'm sick of people unsolving problems.

It works great. I print mostly in PETG so bed temperature might be a factor.
