Default Ceiling Medalion

No, but it is very light in weight.

It seems to be holding. We get very hot weather here, and I am
wondering if the caulk may get old and let go over time? Do you think I
need to put in a few screws?

Sorry, I know I sort of asked this same question before. I am just
wondering about the hot weather now.

Thanks again.

I just inserted caulk and have it taped to the ceiling to dry.
It looks great, but time will tell. I hope it holds.


Do you know approximate weight? If not heavy, caulk will probably hold
just fine.
Thanks.

My boyfriend installed it, and after the fact, I read that it should be
caulked first. We hung a chandelier. The best bet would probably
be to
take it down and start over. Sigh!

Thanks.

Genius idea. I am good with putty - LOL. This is ideal.
Putty is not a good choice - if you get the oily kind, you may not be
able to paint it. I assume you followed installation instructions
when
you put the medallion in place?

Start over again with the chandelier or the boyfriend?
