Description
The use of peel ply in the sheathing process is extremely important. The closely woven nylon cloth is a release fabric, to which epoxy will not adhere. It is applied as the last layer of the sheathing process. The Peel Ply fabric is thoroughly wetted out and must be in full contact with the underlying laminate.
The additional cost of using peel ply is far outweighed by the reduced labour involved in sanding a cured epoxy coated surface. The Peel Ply can remain on the surface for a long period of time as it will still be easily removed, thus protecting the epoxy/glass sheathing.
Peel Ply is applied as the last layer in the sheathing process, or the last layer applied in a single day. Layout the fabric on the epoxy/glass surface. Wet out the peel ply using foam rollers and/or squeegees. There will probably be enough excess epoxy in the laminate to thoroughly wet-out the fabric. However, if there are any dry areas wet-out by applying more epoxy. Overlap the peel ply where necessary.
