Default INSTALLING KITCHEN SINK

What will the consequences be if I don't use plumber's putty around
the drain before inserting it into the sink hole?

Can you overtighten a fiber glass sink drain?


I like plumbers putty, but have been on jobs were they use silicone
caulking, Siqoplex (sp) There is a lot of things that will seal a strainer
basket. I never seen a Fiberglass sink drain, sure it's not just plastic.
Simple test put on floor hit with hammer if it snaps more than just mush's
over most likely fiberglass, Then go buy a brass/chromed one.
