just recieved our rather huge order for some repairs we need to do. initially we were going to try infusion so we didnt order any release film, but now feel we're better off sticking to wet lay and vac bag.
if i put breather straight onto peel ply am i going to have a nightmare removing it? the areas are mostly flat and im pretty good with wetting out with minimal resin. would a second layer of peel ply be any use?
i really need to get on with the job tomorrow as we're already getting behind schedule so dont have time to try and find any release film.
