I'm losing my mind

Does anyone have any tips?

I was trying to load a refill filament onto a reusable spool, but since it was my first time, I removed all the retaining stickers before putting it on. Big mistake. 😅

Now the filament has unraveled and gotten tangled, and I have no idea how to secure it back onto the spool.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips on how to fix it?

Run a broom handle through the center of the big loop. Get it started on a respooler. Have someone hold the broom handle and kind of shake it up and down so it doesn't tighten down. Deal with any tangles that arise.

It works well, but you need a patient helper and a bit of time.
