| 1. Measure the position of the cornice and mark with a chalk line
Tip: If your ceiling is not perfectly level, measure from the lowest point. |
2. Cut mitres using a very fine-toothed saw. |
3. Apply our Adefix P5 adhesive to both edges of the cornice using a paint scraper
or a glue gun.
Tip: If your wall or ceiling is not perfectly straight, do not hesitate to apply more glue to
fill up the gaps. The excess glue can be reused. |
| 4. Place the cornice on the chalk line and gently press into place. For joints,
apply a small quantity of adhesive on either end and push towards each other to form a butt joint.
Tip: When joining profiles, always leave a 2-3mm gap filled with adhesive. This acts as an
expansion joint and prevents cracking on joints. |
5. Remove the excess adhesive with a paint scraper.
Tip: Place the excess adhesive back in the tub for reuse. |
6. Wipe the edges and joint s with a wet sponge for a perfectly smooth finish. Your
cornice is now ready to be painted with any acrylic paint. No primer is required. |
