but I for sure won't be glassing the exterior first, so bleed through is a concern. I'm going to experiment with this.

If you are glassing the inside before the outside (different than the way I do it), and putting pigment/colorant into the epoxy, I'd definitely advise a seal coat of uncolored epoxy on the inside first. The tinted epoxy could bleed through and show joint lines on the exterior of the hull.
