: I always do it this way if I have a sheerclamp to do it with.

: one benefit is that the deck is more flexible with only the inside glassed
: and will conform to the hull with less force.

: If you follow my link you can see the process as well as the method I use for
: feathering the overlap as well

A proviso

This method is not so convenient with boats without sheerclamps, as one has to cut all the holes in the deck beforehand in order to tape the inside, which one needs to do before sanding the outside. This, as Rob suggests, makes the deck very fragile.
