You're not "required" to use it anywhere but using it at transitions points, edges, overlaps, etc., save a lot of fill and sand. The peel ply draws up the resin and holds down the glass to help make a smooth transition or seam. Do yourself a favor and use it at all joints. Just don't forget to remove the peel ply before adding any more layers of glass. The peel ply will not "bond". Use a dry brush to apply the peel ply and brush it on until it wets out from the bottom. If the peel ply won't "wet out", your lay up may be a bit dry. If it "wet's out" with one or two brush strokes then you're probably using too much resin. You'll get the hang of it in short order.
