Bags should be made from a material that epoxy and polyurethane won't bond to.
Most bags are I believe. polyethylene for example hates 99.9% of glues.

when using a bag press do you need to put a peel ply sheet over it so the glue wont stick to the bag?

Sure, an exeperienced builder like yourself will be able to make that work. Your average 1 off builder would be much better off with the large bag. Especially with builds longer than 39" Anything longer than that just won't fit once you include the mold. The larger bag just makes things A LOT easier even if it is 39" or shorter...
Also another tip - If your buying one from roarockit get the valve positioned on the side, not in the centre as is standard ( you can request this ). Great for when doing composite work. It won't leave the valve indentation in your glass or fibre finish..

14 by 44 are fine for small street or slalom boards. Good luck trying to fit a longboard and mold in there. You will need the larger 20" by 70" bag for longboards
