=========================================

It's my understanding that peel ply is normally used in conjunction
with vacuum bagging. The vacuum bag maintains even surface pressure
during the cure and prevents wrinkling. Since you are apparently not
trying to achieve particularly low resin/glass ratios, something like
a shop vac would probably be sufficient.
