MikeGrahamT21 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 the cove adhesive is a bit poor until it sets. As long as it doesn't move when its had time to dry i'm sure it'll be OK, just caulk the crack before decorating. I find using drywall adhesive is much better than these cove adhesives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
