I used peel ply on the middle section of the interior hull. Peel ply is a finely woven polyester cloth designed to be applied on top of the wetted-out glass then peeled off after the epoxy cures. It allows for really nice control of the epoxy on wet-out, and when you peel it off it leaves a perfectly serviceable mat finish. Still, I don't think I'll use it for the exterior glassing. I want a more glossy finish, which will require multiple coats of epoxy anyway, so it seems peel ply on the outer hull would just be a wasted effort.
