Troubleshooting
Cornice not adhering to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from dust/grease). Verify the correct Orac Decor adhesive (DecoFix Pro, Power, or Ultra) was used and applied generously. Check if sufficient pressure was applied during installation and if the adhesive has fully cured.
Adhesive visible on seams after installation
Use DecoFix Ultra adhesive specifically for bonding seams. Ensure excess adhesive is wiped away immediately with a damp cloth before it dries. For dried excess, carefully sand and repaint.
Difficulty achieving a tight bend on a curved wall
Confirm the curve does not exceed the minimum bending radius of 180 cm. Ensure the cornice is warmed slightly if recommended by the adhesive manufacturer for increased flexibility, but avoid overheating.
Cuts are not meeting cleanly at corners
Use a sharp fine-toothed saw and a precise mitre box. Practice cuts on scrap pieces to ensure accurate angles before cutting the final lengths.
