Correct, though in the initial wetting, using a paint brush to "dab out" the bubbles in the fibre glass as you would in the more traditional method of glassing will help considerably with prep of the peel ply. Otherwise any small bubbles when pushed out with the bondo blade will further deform the uniformity of the fibre glass.
