: Hi Jason,
: I only try and lock out any change in moisture content in the wood
: by glassing both inside and out, asap.A change in moisture also
: changes the hull's dimensions,which is just another issue to
: keep in control.Stripping the deck might take you into another
: season.This can be sorted if needed with extra water sponged on
: or some drying out before sealing the "inside"

Also glass, well epoxy, shrinks as it cures, which can take a month or more for a full cure, if the inside is left bare wood the hull can change shape fairly dramatically. Best to do both sides as quickly as is reasonable, minimizes the effect if it's glassed on both sides.
