I have had good luck peel plying just about everything exposed to the 
airstream  on all of my layups. Though I didn't use the coarse weaved stuff 
they send along in the Europa kit.  Go to a fabric shop and get some real 
fine weaved polyester, it leaves a better finish.  They used to sell it in 
Aircraft Spruce but is no longer available from them.

A friend and I built a Cozy MkIV, and we put peel ply on every thing we 
did. 

My friend joking called it "the poor mans vacuum bag." He thinks it made 


finishing much easier and helped remove excess epoxy. I wouldn't know 
because 

I didn't get to finish any parts that weren't peel plied. I have part of a 


roll left over and unless someone on the list gives me a good reason not 
to, 

I'm going to peel ply the big lay-ups. 


Comments, ideas

Thanks
