LOL Geez quit whining about the skin on your knuckles will ya, :-) (says
looking at the scarred stumps others call fingers).
I use saran wrap pulled around the saddle and taped with sticky tape on the out
side. You can pull all the wrinkles out that way before you attach to the flat
board. Then when you put it all together the saran wrap stretches very easily
into the shape with no wrinkles. It becomes part of the breather layer when you
separate the layup. You get your saddles back only slightly bruised. This has
worked nicely for me making spreaders and many model plane wings. Another way
that has worked for me is to cut the peel ply at the leading edge and rip it
off, saddles and all. (gotta take off the backing board with a saw first
though). Worse comes to worse, sand it off and save your knuckles.

Bram,
Thank you for the updated PDF on the CB Construction. Last night I did the
lay-up for the CB and removed the saddles this morning. I took your advice on
eliminating the plastic/mylar layer to avoid wrinkles and had to use a crow bar
to get the saddles off of my cotton absorbant layer. I ended up destroying the
saddles, but the CB carbon is wrinkle free. If it wasn't for the peel ply, I
would never have gotten the saddles off. Bandaids will help my knuckles
heal....
