Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and to a mould system () for manufacturing a shear web for a wind turbine blade as well as to a backing plate () for such method and mould system. The method involves arranging one or more fibre layers on top of a web mould part (), arranging backing plates () at each end to create a mould cavity between the first and second backing plate () and the web mould part (). Each backing plate () comprises an inner moulding surface (), outer surfaces () and a channel () or groove () extending between at least one of the outer surfaces () and the inner moulding surface (). Resin is supplied to the mould cavity via each channel or groove of the first and second backing plate (), and subsequently the resin is cured or hardened to form the shear web.
