I've always glassed before taking anything off the forms. The deck is still flimsy even with glass - I can't imagine trying to move it safely without glass. I did like Nick mentioned in his post, using wax paper or tape between hull and deck to keep them from being glued together, glassing one side then the other. If you're planning to do a seal coat, don't apply it until you're prepared to glass. Otherwise, if there's a big time gap, you need to contend with the blushing issues and sanding prior to glassing.

I recommend doing the hull first. If you make any mistakes, you can refine your technique before glassing the deck. Good luck.
