Default Polyester or Epoxy?

This is not a failure of the product, but in the application.

Im curious if using peel ply is a common technique in boat building?

This is a light layer of dacron or cheap polyester fabric placed over
the wet layup. When cured, the peel ply is "peeled" off leaving a clean
raw surface ready for the next lamination.

Takes the blush off too.
