I suffered in the same way as you but only once! until I ordered rolls of
peel ply from ACS and later my local Composite Boat Builder. It is normally
white with a slightly coarser weave/texture than the 'silky' green stuff. I
have rolls of 1", 2" and 4" and I believe you can get 6".
It's much easier to manage when covering up lay ups and can applied
carefully to cover most complex shapes if applied at suitable angle. My
experience is that the 2" and 4" are the most commonly I have used.
It is white with red visibility stripes and the 4" roll is about 100+ yards
long.
Another advantage is ease of effort and a clean 'tear off' action when
appropriate as the 4" is applied with abutment or overlap strips on large
areas.
It's worth getting!
Regards
Gerry
