deck or bottom glassed frist?

Hi, bit confused again Doh! I been glassing my own boards (2) bottom first then deck, free lap. I got a few tips off the master glasser series, he does his this way. Then a mate says no the other way around so you can pin line the lap to look neat in a cut lap situation.

Just trying gain a bit more understanding about the relationship with template to the rocker, having just cut out a template of a new board, looking at the off cut from the blank, the similararity with the shape to the rocker, can any body put in there two bobs worth on this. Always willing to learn!

      It doesn’t matter which you glass first. Should lap both bottom and one deck layer. I’ve been doing all mine reverse layup [i.e. deck first] with a 6 oz patch lap the 4 oz, light sand on the lap line, then glass the bottom. This way the bottom is super flat come sand time.

     This is not he easiest method however, for multiple reasons, most lap one layer on the bottom first, then you have a nice hard rail to cut the deck patch on. All in person preference if you are the sander too. Try both and notice which one gets a better finished board.
