Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a mould tool (30) for forming an adhesive mound (40) over an electrical connector (22) projecting from a surface of a wind turbine blade shell (10) and attached to an electrical cable (26). The mould tool (30) comprises an open base (31), a body (32) defining an internal cavity (34) sized for receiving an electrical connector (22), an inlet (35) for permitting the introduction of an adhesive material into the internal cavity (34) of the mould tool (30), an aperture (36) in the body (32) for accepting an electrical cable (26) and a slit (37) extending from the base (31) up to at least the aperture (36) so as to permit removal of the mould tool (30) after forming the adhesive mound (40). Advantageously, it has been found that the aforementioned mould tool (30) can help users to more efficiently and consistently deliver adhesive mounds (49) having the desired dimensional accuracy.
