I'm dying with my peel ply, every time its a battle 
Are there any advancement in this area? any better releasing peel ply?

Alternatively - any other way to create a good bonding surface?

Well what peel ply are you using? PA66 is the best performance wise, but also quite expensive. I won't use anything else though, cheaper stuff ends up costing more in labour to remove it.

You can also get things like teflon coated fibreglass, or silicone coated peel ply which are supposed to be easier to remove. I can vouch that the teflon coated fibreglass is much easier, but I'm dubious about the silicone coated peel ply, I still found that harder to remove than PA66. Also keep in mind that any coated materials are going to effect your secondary bonding, so I absolutely wouldn't use anything but PA66 if you are using it to create a bonding surface.

Otherwise you can also use a perforated release film, either in conjunction with a peel ply or on its own without the peel ply. If used with peel ply, it should make it easier to remove the infusion mesh first, and then you can remove the peel ply easier. Or, if used on its own then you would just abrade the surface before bonding to it.

Thanks!
I use the PP230 Aero-Grade Nylon 66 Peel Ply (Red Tracer)

Im wondering if there is such a thing - reusable peel ply?
I can attach to a caul and use it to press on the mould, pulling the caul will be much easier
