Epoxy: fillet and tape simultaneously a must?

Hello everyone,
I am preparing to do my interior seam filleting and taping this coming holiday weekend. I was wondering if it was crucial that the fiberglass tape be layed and wetted out on the freshly done fillets. I think the reason may be so the tape adheres well to the fillet and becomes one with it. I was hoping to put in the fillets, let them cure and then tape all the joints. This process seems to suit my abilities better than trying to do so much at one time. Maybe I am worrying too much about it and it will be easier than what I think. Anyway, I would appreciate the input.

Thanks,

Tony
