Long piece of peel? (5)
I believe the answer is:
strip
I believe this is a double definition.
'long piece' is the first definition.
(long strip of material)
'peel?' is the second definition.
(I know that peel is a more specific form of the action strip)
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Thin piece" , "Plunder" , "Tear off" , "Ribbon" , "Band; unclothe" .)
