Product Description

KNAUF DIY Cornice Adhesive will bond all the decorative plaster pieces you’ve planned for your new home or renovation.

Cornice Adhesive is a plaster-based adhesive formulated for bonding paperfaced and plaster cornices to plasterboard surfaces and reinforcing joints in cornices. It can also be used for bonding other plaster decorative products, bonding back-blocks to plasterboard joints, laminating plasterboard sheets and caulking gaps in fire-rated wall constructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The inclusion of other materials to a mix will impair the performance (e.g. reduced strength and poor adhesion) and void the product warranty

  • Once setting has commenced the material cannot be remixed and must be discarded
  • Cornice Adhesive should be stored under cover in a dry environment and protected from temperature extremes; storage in an unsuitable environment can shorten the life of this product
