: I do my decks this way. I remove them from the forms, sand and
: glass inside, then glue them to the hull, then sand the outside
: and glass the deck and join it to the hull all in one go.

: It works fine if one is a little gentle in handling the section
: while it is off the forms.

: Et

Thanks for mentioning that Et. I thought about it on my last boat but since
I hadn't seen mention here, I glassed inside and out before joining the halves
in what is I suppose, a fairly standard build.
Moral of the story. If in doubt, post a question here!!!
I shall certainly try it on my next build.
BTW, does this method make for a more flexible deck and therefore an easier
fit of the two halves?
