: Fill coat(s) should be done ASAP. At least within 72 hrs of the

Agree, finish the glass/epoxy on the hull first, then I do the outside of the deck, do all the outsides first, then work on the inside with the glass on the outsides stabilizing the insides. Also really want the deck on the forms when you glass it to maintain it's shape, if you take the forms out of the hull to glass the insides, then you don't have the forms anymore to stabilize the deck.
