Abstract
Abstract A tessellated contour core blanket for use in structural laminates, the blanket being constituted by an array of blocks, preferably of end-grain balsa, adhesively secured to an open mesh scrim, the exposed ends of the blocks being sealed to prevent the admission therein of moisture or resin, whereby the blanket may be stored for prolonged periods without blanket warpage, and the blanket may thereafter be laminated to facing skins without printout effects.
