Fixing Cornice

[silentC]

I’ve never found cornice cement not to stick to painted surfaces

Yeah, sure it's stuck to the paint. How well is the paint stuck to the plasterboard though, and for how long? Personally, I don't like gluing things to paint. That's just me though....

Yeh cornice cement will stick to paint for a few years then let go.

If you dont believe me (and a reputable cornice fixer) feel free to ignore it and re-install it years later.
