Zusammenfassung:	Methods 100, 300 of manufacturing rotor blade components 200 for a wind turbine 10 and rotor blade 16 components produced in accordance with such methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method 100 generally includes providing 102 a mold of the rotor blade 16 component; coating 104 at least a portion of an interior surface of the mold with an elastomeric material; inserting 105 impletion material within the mold so as to at least partially reduce an open internal volume within the mold; inserting 106 a foam material within the mold; and removing 108 the rotor blade component 16 from the mold, wherein the elastomeric material forms a cover skin around at least a portion of the rotor blade component. In an alternative embodiment, the method 300 includes providing 302 at least one support member 210 defining a profile for the rotor blade component on a mold surface; coating 304 at least a portion of the support member with an elastomeric material; and allowing 306 the elastomeric material to cure on the mold surface so as to form the rotor blade component.
