       warranty claims.   Some construction adhesives may melt the product.

 6) Once adhesive is applied, position the item in the tracing area and either

      use Painter's tape to hold it in position or use a "brad nailer pinner" with a

      compression gun to adhere to the wall or surface.

     OR use a screw temporarily to hold the medallion in place

     Allow 24 hours to dry  

     After it is dry remove the temporary screw or counter sink it and use Poly Spackling

     Compound to fill the holes, prime the Spackle and paint.

 7) 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.
