Default Largest Piece Or Smallest Piece First When Laying Fiberglass Cloth Over a Tapered Edge?

Actually, I'm not even using the "off-boat wetted out glass" scheme at the
moment.

All I know is that the epoxy drips end up on many things (like clothing)
that weren't supposed to be wetted. Many come from the epoxy cup where I've
wiped the brush and the stuff has climbed over the edge, run down the side,
and ... Then there's the issue of where to park the swizzle stick and/or
squeegee between uses.

If you are dripping all over the place, then you aren't doing it right.
The glass is supposed to have the weave wetted out, but the weave should
still be quite visible... not dry looking, but dang close. You can apply
fill coats later, after it's cured into the boat. Believe me, the glass
has plenty of epoxy in it when it looks like this. No drips!

But dripping all over the place is part of the process???? Just try to
move all the expensive tools (planers, belt sanders, etc.) out of the
line of fire.
