A woven reinforcement material, comprising:
- an elongated body formed from a weave of warp strands and weft strands, said elongated body having a first end section, a second end section and an intermediate section, said intermediate section having a first thickness A and said first and second end sections having a second thickness B where A>B.
A method of securing an elongated body of a woven reinforcement material to a core having a first end, a face and a second end, comprising:
- positioning a first end margin of said elongated body onto said face of said core;
- taping a first corner of said first end margin of said elongated body to said core;
- and
- taping a second corner of said first end margin of said elongated body to said core so that less than an entire width of said first end margin is taped to said core.
A method of securing an elongated body of a woven reinforcement material to a core having a first end, a second end and a face, comprising:
- attaching a strip of double-faced adhesive tape to said face of said core from a first point adjacent a first end of said core to a second point adjacent a second end of said core;
- providing a strip of tape over a first end margin of said elongated body from a first corner thereof to a second corner thereof;
- and
