    Pulling the bond-line cure records for that batch to check whether the oven profile ran short.

    Disbond is confined to the stringer attachment zone. Not propagating into the acreage.

Attaching the tap-test map and three photos of the 247-B bond line. Adjacent tiles read clear. Let us know if you need the full acreage survey.

Thanks — that is enough to rule out acreage propagation. We are pulling the cure records for the batch and will come back with a bond-line verdict inside 24h.
