Strip: building the combing

I have been working on a night heron double for the past year or so and have nearly finished the deck and hull. I built the reveal and have cut the cockpit opening and was about to start the process of the combing strips when I noticed the video about building it and it seemed to me that in the video, the deck has already been glassed (and I'm assuming the the interior has also been done. As I am nearing the stage to glass the boat, I would appreciate any tips on the timing of this phase. It did seem to make sense to do glass everything and then build the combing as I think it might be fragile to be handled very much. Any thoughts from the experienced side?
