Instead of a weird dark gap, it’s looks nice and clean!We also fitted a little piece of wood over the little trench in the ceiling where the wires were.Again, adhesive is great for this because you don’t want to risk having a nail or a screw slip even a fraction of an inch in a situation where you’re so close to wires!.
