The issue of KBLB silk (be it MS or DS) having different kinetic and material properties than traditional silk has been long known to the company and to those on this board for YEARS.

If the reeler that we selected wasn't aware that our silk required fine-tuning or adjustments to industry standards, the blame for that falls first to Kim/Jon for not communicating that (as it was 100% known) and then to the reeler themselves, who if they were capable enough and had a fundamental understanding (versus a bulk processing mentality) should have been able to see that the raw materials were sufficiently different than what they were used to working with.

Experts have expertise, and not everyone that works on commercial-scale materials is an expert. Kim should have found an expert and not relied on someone that thinks they can just run this through the old-school setup.

That's just a fact. Maybe it's an easy fix, and maybe this delay will wake Kim up to the fact, but it's inexcusable given that THEY THEMSELVES MODIFIED THE SILK TO BE STRONGER/MORE ELASTIC/ETC. If you don't know what your fibers need, then you shouldn't be in the fiber game without help from true experts.
