"Tick off your customers" Mike? More likely tick off your customers'
surviving friends and relatives (those that were not in the plane with you
when the wings went in a direction different from the fuselage).
My last (as in, previous - I fear that this one still won't be the last)
post on this subject was January 30, 2001, and that's not a typo - it was
almost three years ago. Many moons prior to that I had advised the factory
that I found invisible peel ply exactly where it is still being found. I
was assured by the factory when I first brought this to their attention that
invisible peel ply was no longer being used.
This is very likely a flight safety issue and the factory has been, for lack
of a stronger word, irresponsible in ignoring numerous builder complaints
about invisible peel ply. Simply adding some text to the manual advising
that there is peel ply to be removed (lacking in my manual) is not
sufficient when the peel ply can not be seen.

To all and especially the factory,
Does all this input about peel ply beg the question? If peel ply is
available
in bright green, then why is the factory using a peel ply that has no
noticeable markings on it, blends in as well as a layup, and they don't
leave a tab
for one to pull it off with? Why would you want to continue with something
that
you know will tick off your Customers?
