In Response To: Which Comes First: the hatches or the varnish? (Jim Owens)

Im concidering cutting my hatches before my final epoxy fill coats. I want to cut my hatches and create leidy lids prior to joining the deck and hull.

Dont the final fills follow the glass tape along the sheer?

if not will someone put these in order for me....

create leidy lids
join hull to deck
epoxy sheer tape
Apply final fill coats
fair/sand entire boat
varnish
