If it doesn't evenly stick it can bubble up off the material (especially fancier weaves like hex), the weave can also distort as you add more layers or epoxy/ resin if it isn't all stuck on there properly. I've had luck using lightly and quickly brushed on contact cement (both the base material and the fiber) as well as spray glue on both items to get it to hold.  I'm not sure which would be best for PLA, you might have to do some trial and error on small sections of the back or feet to find out what works best! Good luck!</blockquote>
