Hi Chris,

Initially, I had the same trouble getting the peel ply off the ailerons, 
anti-servo tabs and flap closeouts. (mine were factory skinned). What I 
discovered

works best was to find the end edge of the ply. Get it started peeling with 
an exacto knife or a #11 scalpel blade, a quarter inch will do. Then with a 
pair of straight hemostats, clamp onto the end of the ply and roll the ply onto

the hemostats as you peel it up. You'll find all but a thread or two will come

off like opening a sardine can. Any remaining threads can easily be removed 
with the exacto knife.

Hope it helps!
