I am getting close to the point of installing coaming/glassing the deck of my SO's Merganser yak. What is the best procedure to follow? Glass deck first, then install vertical wood strip coaming, then glass coaming OR install coaming, glass coaming, then glass deck?

I'm having a hard time figuring out which is better strengthwise and in terms of finishing ease.

Thanks for any comments, Pete czerpak albany, ny

PS. The coaming that I'm using is made from 0.25" by 2" by 0.75" birch and purpleheart pieces with hopefully steambent laminations of the same in 1/8" thickness strips for the coaming rim.
