A method of joining components of a wind turbine blade involves the use of an adhesive arrestor rail positioned at the side of a joining surface of a first member of a wind turbine blade, the rail arranged to form an acute angle to a second opposed joining surface of a second member of a wind turbine blade. The arrestor rail acts to retain flowable adhesive within the bonding area between two joining surfaces, ensuring a full and complete bond is provided between the blade members. The rail provides a valve action, deflecting to allow for excess adhesive to extrude past the rail, indicating that the bonding area between the joining surfaces is filled with adhesive. The arrangement of the arrestor rail results in a tapering edge of the adhesive bond layer between two members. The arrangement provides a reduced likelihood of substantial crack formation in the adhesive bond layer. |
