In Response To: Building deck before glassing hull (Chris Howie)

If your strongback allows it I can't see any reason not to strip the whole boat before glassing. You trade one set of concerns for another. You introduce the problems of glassing the hull and deck together and of dripping epoxy on one half while glassing the other.
