Default Polyester or Epoxy?

I have never tried it myself but I have heard people use it when vacuum
bagging.
I would be skeptical of claims that no further prep work would be needed by
using peel ply, too much to lose, but hey I said I never used it before, I
have also heard people laying a second coat or layer down before the first
has fully cured, not right away but many hours later, this again I would not
try on a bet, I am really just a dabbler in this stuff but I try and get it
right.
I wish this group had been around when I restored my 30' Chris Craft back
in the 80's, could have used the help, took alot of those lumps of life that
made me so pretty, heheh

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.
