UltiMaker S5 Build Plate Adhesion

[KTec 1]

I have an Ultimaker S5 Printer with a glass build plate. I am trying to print with Transparent CPE from Cura UltiMaker (1 Kg Spool). The CPE won't stick to the build plate and either prints some, and then balls up, or it doesn't print at all and drags around a ball of CPE. I have tried glue but it still isn't sticking to the build plate. The CPE is new and was only opened a few month ago. I know it hasn't adsorbed much moisture because it extrudes consistently and doesn't have any popping sounds coming from the print core. What can I do to fix this issue?

UltiMaker has a guide for printing with CPE

What bed temperature are you printing at? Have you tried increasing it?

First layer speed?

I use simple Hairspray and that works fine. Taake out the build plate and use the Hairspray on it. Put it back and print.
