Strip: Coaming before or after glassing?

Do you guys typically build the coaming riser and lip before or after glassing a deck?
I've found it being done both ways. Is one easier, or have any advantage, over the other?

Was thinking I'd do some deck glassing in the next week or two (supposed to warm up a little).
Then it dawned on me that maybe I should do the coaming first..
Any advice appreciated as always :)
