Default Joining wing halves/ covering

I'm building a Tiporare, and it's time to cover the wings. I'm planning to cover them in silkspan with dope. My question is about reinforcing the wing center. Should I glass it first with resin, feather the edges, and then put the silkspan over it? Or should I put the silkspan everywhere then glass? I do plan to follow the original instructions which said to do a wide layer and then a narrow reinforcing layer. But Hanson's instructions assumed the whole wing would be glassed, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
