I know many people rough'en up their running surfaces... I usually do as well by using 400grit paper to reduce stiction (sp). BUT... I'm fiberglassing a tunnel hull right now and I use peel ply on top of the curing glass to soak up the excess epoxy and to avoid sanding between plys.
When you peel the peel ply off of the cured glass it leaves an evenly spread "rough" texture behind. I'm considering leaving this texture on the running surfaces and just painting/clearing over it with out sanding it smooth to get the same effect. I'm really tempted to experiment by leaving the texture in place to see what happens.
Anyone have some thoughts on this before I commit?
