Default Urgent! undermount stainless sink advice need!!!

I just had new Granite counter tops and a Kohler 3356 sink installed. Mine
was glued underneath with some silicone. I was afraid that it wouldn't
hold, but I understand this is the stand method. So far (two weeks now,)
everything is fine.

I'm figuring that if needed it might be possible to chemically attack the
bond and maybe slowly wedge it loose. But I cant think of a possible reason
why. The opening is cut specifically for that sink. I would only be able
to replace it with another Kohler 3356 if it needed to be replaced.


The alternative is to place around the edge, a stainless steel wire,
which can be used to saw the set silicone off.
The wire needs to be ~25% of the gap, or less.
