Installation: If the
product comes in a plastic bag, make sure it is away from children or pets.
1) NeoPlasterTM & StoneMoldTM
can be cut like wood, however it can crack easily.
2) Trace
out the medallion with a pencil on the wall or ceiling to assist in the
final placement of the product.
3) Prime
First then Paint with 2 or 3 coats of high quality paint or Faux finish
the medallion before you put it up
4) Do not
hang chandeliers from the medallion, they must be suspended from the
electrical receptacle box
which should be enforce to the framing
5) The medallion is going
to be glued to the ceiling with construction adhesive.
In order to hold the medallion up during the drying process of the construction
adhesive, drill 4 pilot holes to insert 4 long screws.
Insert the screws part way no deeper than the medallion.
If you are drilling into a
concrete ceiling use a Tapcon drill bit and tapcom
screws. The
screws are going to be used to hold the medallion in place during
the drying process.
Create a countersink space for the screw's head to be countersink into the
medallion so the head's will not show.
Before you screw into the ceiling make sure with a probe that there are no
electrical wires in the proximity of
where you will be screwing.
6) On various spots on
the back surface, dab construction adhesive.
Note: wear gloves and follow the instructions on the manufacturer's tube.
7) Once adhesive is
applied, position the item in the tracing area.
Insert the screws into the pilot holes and screw the medallion to the ceiling.
Since you
drilled a countersink, the screw's head will be inserted into the medallion.
8) Once the construction
adhesive is dried after 24 hours, drill in the 4 screws.
Use PolySpackling Compound to fill the holes, prime the Spackling and paint.
9) Paint touchup to finish, you
may want to use a paintable caulking on the edge
of the medallion, make sure it paintable, most silicone products are not.
