The finish is smooth but it is not perfect.

You get a smoother finish using the peel ply in the bag than if you just applied the finishing epoxy with a squeegee alone.

The surface is only as smooth as the peel ply and bag. I ironed the peel ply so there were no wrinkles.

The following picture shows what the wing looks like after some sanding.

The hinge made of 2 ounce glass is smoother than the one done with taffeta. We will see what holds up better.
