You're correct on how the curing process works. If you do full length taping on the flat of the weapon, then I would wait a bit for the DAP to cure before taping. If you are more conservative in your taping, then the amount of tape you're using is miniscule and shouldn't affect the process, so it's fine to tape right away. I've worked both ways in my years as a foamsmith, and I can't say that I've noticed any longevity losses or benefits either way, but that's the advice I've received from persons far more adept than I in weapon crafting.
