What is Peel Ply and how do i use it? Peel Ply isn't well known. It is typical G10 but has a thick plastic sheet on the top of it that you peel away and pitch. The underside of this thick plastic sheet has a texture that is imprinted into the G10 during the curing process. When you peel the plastic, the texture on the top of the G10 is left. This gives you a high end look that can't be achieved by hand finishing. Peel Ply: http://usaknifemaker.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=g10-pp
