Pete,

I'm glad you figured it out and the Jim's book is newer than mine (by a
several revisions).

Most all the glass work I have done in the last decade has been vacuum
bag largely to get the resin weight down. - sound familiar - more for
weight than cost - but I don't mind cheaper either.

Thanx Jim,

Matt Colie

I use peel ply even when not bagging. It helps in two ways- squeegeeing
the layup out to a smooth forn with minimal resin content and it leaves a
surface with a very bond-able finish and no amine blush.
I use the plastic squeegees (bondo spreaders), over the peelply, to smooth
the layup out.
If you've gotten a wrinkly surface, you didn't squeegee hard enough.
No harm, 'cept a bit of extra weight. Peel it off and continue.

Aha,

I thought I was doing the right thing by being gentle; the advice I
was given was to avoid stretching the stuff because when it shrinks
back it rucks up. I guess I took the advice too literally.
