Yes Dave - thanks for clarifying that - I have seen people make that mistake!!! I get colored dacron so I do not make the mistake.
Oh, and there is a gratifying feeling and sound when removing the peel ply (you peel it off after the epoxy is 100% cured). Somewhere between popping bubble wrap, velcro, or removing that band aid off someone else's harry arm! LOL!!!

Peel ply will prevent your fiberglass from adhering to the foam surface, and it will delaminate. Cotton flox mixed with epoxy will fill the surface, but it’s heavy. So will glass microballoons. Ideally, bring your foam surface up as close to shape as possible, then use micro.

If you are not able to - put peel ply (dacron) down and wet out.
