Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a shell part (101) for a wind turbine blade also comprising an add-on component (301, 302) connected to the shell part (101) along a connection face. The method comprises the steps of providing an insert (102) with a side surface of approximately the same shape as the connection face, positioning the insert in an open mould, and placing one or more layers (105) of material in the mould (103) to form the shell part (101) wherein the layers (105) are placed in abutment to the side surface (104) of the insert (102) thereby forming a side surface (108) of the shell part (101) of approximately the same shape as the connection face. After resin cure, the insert (102) is removed.
