Hello All,
I am an experienced composite laminator trying my hand with veneers, specifically burl veneers. My usual first removable layer on top of the composite is peel ply. When the extra epoxy is drawn into the vacuum bag it saturates the peel ply but the tight weave makes tearing it off a simple albeit forceful event. Wetted out fiber always stays together even though the tearing action is strong. I am concerned that I might just be pulling off bits and pieces of the veneer with the peel ply.
Should I be concerned, are there better practices for the first layer on top of the veneer inside the vacuum bag?
Thanks
Vince
