Can I print PETG onto PLA? (lemmings.world)

I'm currently printing a thing with black PLA and it might not be enough. Can I put black PETG in there when it runs out and continue like nothing happened? I'd adjust the nozzle temperature, of course.

It may "stick" but it will not be a molecularly interlocked layer. The transition layer will be extremely weak and may snap right off if you handle it at all.
