Strip: Masking tape under glass

I have a question about "the-masking-tape-under-glass-technique" (It needs a better name). You know that trick to make nice edges on reinforcement layers.
I suppose this technique wouldn't work if I applied epoxy to all glass layers at the same time, because then there wouldn't be any epoxy under the masking tape. So I guess I should apply at least one coat of epoxy to the first layer of glass and then put on the masking tape and the reinforcement layer.
But how much should the first coat dry before applying the masking tape? Should it just be tack free or ???
