I could be wrong on this, but I think the green is the tape color?

You are Correct

Spraying the Deck

Wow..... That's embarrassing. We'll that's some awesome tape.

 

[Patyacht]

You are Correct

Posting a rendering would help. Then we could see the colors.:thumbsup

Is this what's refered to as Resin Infusion?

Yes

 

[Q4mtxUS]

Yes

Okay, copy. My mistake. You mentioned "Infusion" at the beginning. I just only saw the photos and overlooked the text.

I have read many articles - and several threads on this site - related to "Resin Infusion" and am trying to understand fully how this process works. The knowledge I've acquired thus far is that this would be a desired lay-up option because of a more precise resin/glass (or, glass/resin) ratio. The attached photo's you've provided (Thanks for sharing BTW) show, what seems to me, to be almost surgical, er, sanitary. Very clean I guess is what I'm sayin'...Like Doctors. DCB Doctors! Is this the standard lay-up for a DCB?

Yes it is our standard layup procedure. There is No excess resin, leaves a lighter/stronger part with no sharp edges, it leaves a smooth finish to the touch.

Note: This thread is from 2014

just read through this, I regard DCB as one of the very high-end boats, this build is incredible!


is the engine-bilge area a liner ? Is it part of the cockpit liner?

Thanks, that's why its so shiny!

The reason why I asked if there was a liner is because the hull-mold has a space immediately in the center(below pic), but my pic in post #19, shows that it's all covered with a full flooring?






And I see an access area below the battery holder as shown by the arrow







Therefore, this beautiful flooring is added on top of the hull's tunnel. And I'm curious if this is a contiguous part of the cockpit's liner?

I don't think the bilge is a liner.
Notice the corners of the stringers and corners between floor and stringer, they're too tight for in the mold work.I believe they are covering those three sections over the pod with deckalite and finishing all that by hand.
Then there's this.



In this pic we can see that floor and fire wall isn't finished. If the bilge was a liner it would have to be installed before they set the deck on the hull.There's no conceivable way to get a liner in there after.

I believe their cockpit floor is a liner though.
