Zusammenfassung:In an aspect, a method of filling a plurality of cooling holes in an airfoil component, the method comprises injecting a curable composition into a fill channel such that the curable composition flows through the fill channel to the plurality of cooling holes; forming a plurality of beads of the curable composition on a surface of the component over the plurality of cooling holes; directing a radiation to the respective beads in directions parallel to the respective central axes of the cooling holes associated with the respective beads to cure curable composition of the respective beads; and heating the component to cure the curable composition located in the fill channel.
