hey guys, trying to find a good source for peel ply. I use to buy it from evan, but im almost out. Found it at fiberglast.com, but pretty sure i can get it cheaper elsewhere. Anyone know a good online source?
I buy mine directly from airtech. It is 1000ft for like $375
Airtech is good but since Richmond donated a bunch to us, you might try them too…
im sorry, i should have stated that i buy in small quantaies as i need it, i just need buy 4-5 yards at a time. Any of you guys have some you can sell me, or know where i can buy small quantaties?
thanks for the link devildog, i searched the posts, but i couldnt find anything. I appreciate it.
For price, I recommend Fiberglass Supply out of Oregon.
I’ve ordered fromt hem several times… great guys

Realize that we need to support suppliers and all that however I live in the Philippines where the reply is “Peel What”. And if I try to import the small amounts I normally need the transportation and customs costs are prohibitive. A solution which has worked extremely well for me is as follows. Create from a piece of plywood a part that looks like an oversized hairbrush however the bristles are sewing machine needles in a grid that measure 3/16 X 3/16 (You can’t drill small holes much closer than that)
From the local supermarket I by cheap garbage bags (not heavy duty but thin) These can be purchased in different colors and I use a pale blue as it is very visible against the Epoxy color. Open the bags up into flat sheet by cutting the bottom and one side.
Now I lay the sheet out on any soft surface so that when I press the “Hairbrush” into the sheet I have created many tiny holes. By moving in a pattern over the whole sheet the holes are visible and then I go back again and stagger the spacing so that the holes are now 3/32 apart. This home made peel ply works very well and strips off cleanly and is ideal for smaller parts i.e. largest I have done is 24"X 48" As I have the same problem sourcing bleed cloth I use a knitted fabric similar to the linings in gloves. It contours beautifully as it is a knit and I delight in seeing all of the shiny little stars where the excess Epoxy has flowed through the garbage bag peel ply and been absorbed into the glove lining bleed cloth. And CHEAP and once the tool is made up you can improvise without the hassle of ordering, waiting etc.
