Strip: fiberglassing deck

Question. Fiberglassing Guillemot Double... Book says before fiberglassing, remove deck from strongback and forms, turn hull over and fiberglass exterior and interior of hull. Has anyone fiberglassed the outside of deck first while still on strongback and forms before removing deck to do the hull? If I did it this way the deck might be less likely to distort as I set it aside to do the hull.... I would also tape a few inches below the hull shear line before fiberglassing deck so they would still separate.....
