Fake honeycomb was available in tinned form. It was about 1/4” thick and could be soldered to the front of a modern core. A few years ago the suppliers sold up to the people at Bicester.
As Dickie observes, the supply of period cores is somewhat restricted and the price of the fake solderable honeycomb has risen. When I last checked it meant that there was little difference in final cost between a genuine period-type core and a modern core with the old type of fake honeycomb.
The Nomex honeycomb is new to me and could be useful with an alloy core,I imagine.

Stuart
