The hardest part of using peel ply is that you can't see through it to see that you have a good, flat application. On this boat we had one area on one chine with a bubble in it. Nothing too bad, as the bubble was only about ten inches long. The bubble had to be sanded out, then a tapered landing for reinforcing glass must be provided. The first layer of 10 ounce glass was cut on the bias and applied to the chine.
The bias layer is fully wetted out then another layer of 10 ounce glass is applied. Each layer overlaps the layer under it.
The second layer is fully wetted out and peel ply is applied.
The finished repair blends perfectly into the rest of the chine. One of the great things about epoxy/fiberglass/plywood construction is that it is repairable.
