plumbers putty or not ?
I bought a new SS sink and the instruction for installing the basket do not mention putty. There is a rubber washer and then the last washer to contact the inside of the sink is a paper washer. Is this something new that eliminates having to use putty ? If i did use putty would I just put the bead on first and the put the washers on top of the bead ? OR put the washers on first and then the bead ?
thanks! |
