Anyone tried using this instead of peel ply? Does it leave a smoother finish?

Perforated? yes. Ultra smooth, but than u need to sand it anyway for a hot coat. Reusable as well.

No it's not perforated. Reusable is good. So it leaves it a very smooth finish but still needs a bit of sanding and coating, think i'll give it a try. Does it soak up any resin?

It is PE based I think so no, it doesn't. It will wrinkle tho so good for an even surface.
