Material: cockpit coaming

HELLO

I,m cutting out the cockpit recess today and am wondering if it would be
better to glass before I make the cockpit coaming, it seems that the glass would
be easier to lay out flat if I glassed before, not having that lip to deal with
Are there any disadvantages to doing it in this order? Perhaps some strenght
issues ,not being able to overlap the glass over the coaming. I notice in your
pictures of the cockpit coaming,pg. 97-98 you've glassed before or maybe its
only your sealer coat. Epoxy fiber glass is all new to me and I,m ancious to get
it right. Appreciate all your help in the past.

THANKS BILL
