Abstract

A reinforcing web has multiple fibers joined together with a binder. At least some of the fibers have foldable portions, wherein the foldable portions have substantially less binder thereon to increase flexure to fold the web. A method of making the reinforcing web includes, applying a binder on the web, and removing some or all of the binder from a foldable portion of the web prior to curing the binder that remains on the web.
