Paul--I agree with you about not removing the hull from the strongback until you can apply glass and epoxy. I question the wisdom of applying epoxy unless you can coat BOTH the inside and the outside. If you only coat the outside and remove the boat from the strongback for an extended time, differential absorbtion of moisture can severly distort the hull.

A friend of mine tells the story of epoxy coating the outside of a hull and leaving it in his basement on the strongback. His basement flooded, essentially raising the relative humidity to 100%. The hull distorted to the point it separated from the strongback.

So I'd vote to either store the boat, unepoxied, on the strongback or coat both inside and outside and store it off the strongback.
