Zusammenfassung:	A tip extension for a wind turbine blade is described. The tip extension comprises an adhesive dam inside a trailing edge region of the tip extension. A chordwise position of a surface of the adhesive dam is selected such that when the tip extension is fitted to a blade, a trailing edge of the blade projects into said surface. A method of attaching a tip extension to a wind turbine blade is also described. The method comprises sliding the tip extension onto the blade such that a trailing edge of the blade projects into the adhesive dam.
