    Abstract: A precured fibrous composite strip (40) for a load-carrying structure, such as a spar cap, for a wind turbine blade (10) is described. The strip has a first longitudinal end (51) and a second longitudinal end (52), a first side (53) and a second side (54) with a width defined as the distance between the first side and the second side, and an upper surface (55) and a lower surface (56) with a thickness defined as the distance between the upper surface and the lower surface. The strip comprises a taper region (60) with a taper length at the first longitudinal end, wherein the taper region tapers in thickness towards the first longitudinal end and comprises: a first taper section (61) proximal to the first longitudinal end and having a first average taper angle, a third taper section (63) distal to the first longitudinal end and having a third average taper angle, and a second taper section (62) between the first taper section and the third taper section and having a second average taper angle, wherein the second average taper angle is larger than both the first average taper angle and the third average taper angle.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pre-impregnated fibre sheet (20a, 20b) extending in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction and comprising a first fibre layer (21) forming part of an upper surface of the pre-impregnated fibre sheet and a second fibre layer (22) forming part of a lower surface of the pre-impregnated fibre sheet, wherein the first fibre layer is pre-impregnated with an adhesion promotor. The present invention further relates to methods of manufacturing a blade shell member or wind turbine blade comprising a pre-manufactured spar cap (100) and a number of pre- impregnated fibre sheets (20a, 20b) arranged to obtain an improved adherence between the blade shell (80) and pre-manufactured spar cap, particularly when the pre-manufactured spar cap is resin infused with vinyl ester or epoxy resin and the blade mould is resin infused with polyester.
