Strip: glassing inside of coaming

Just hoping to get some input: when I glass the inside of the deck on my great auk, should i run the cloth up the coaming and glass everything at once, or should I glass the inside of the coaming seperate? also, when it comes time to tape the inside seam, what method is preferred for a newbie such as myself. I was thinking I would hot glue a strip of glass to the hull seam, then epoxy the halves together, (this seems like the easier method to me) or should I unroll the epoxy-soaked fiberglass strip onto the seam. (the method in Schade's book) Thanks, the end is in sight...
