I have just installed sliding doors in front of our wardrobes, and since it was a bit tight on height, I had to cut the ceiling plaster a little to fit. The cut in the ceiling didn’t turn out very nicely, and the plaster chipped in some places.

I thought I would put a white painted wood trim, like a molding strip 8x15 mm, on the metal rail to cover the gap. But how do I attach the trim most effectively?
I was considering if I could put double-sided tape on the trim and then a line of PL400 or SuperFix adhesive? Does anyone have a better suggestion?
 
  • Sliding closet doors under ceiling with mounted spotlights; a gap is visible at the top where the ceiling plaster was cut slightly unevenly.
  • Sliding doors in front of wardrobes with uneven ceiling cut and exposed drywall edges.
Double-sided tape should work. I would start with that and if it turns out it doesn't hold over time, go with PL400/TEC7/etc.

Yes, I'll do that. I just saw that there are black plastic trim strips at Bauhaus that would probably fit like a glove, and in that case, tape should more than suffice.
 
Wouldn't it work to fill larger holes and then just use a flexible sealant?

Yes, that would probably work but I'd rather avoid it since we live in the room and it creates so much dust.
 
Here's the result with black covert moldings from Bauhaus and some superduper double-sided tape from Tesa.
