No, the cling film shreds even if I have a good piece of film to grip.
I usually have to deal with this problem the day after I do the layup, but even
at the leathery stage it is sticking too much to remove in one piece.

I might try the garbage bag idea that someone else proposed, but I would feel 
more comfortable knowing why my experience is so different from everyone else.
