Hey all,
I have a question about my bathroom faucet. This is a relatively new
sink/faucet and I had my contractor install it about 2 months ago. He
used some plumber's putty between the bottom of the faucet (which is a
clear rubber) and the top of the sink (which is porcelain). Now I
don't know if plumber's putty is supposed to act as an adhesive or
not, but I noticed that the faucet isn't really *attached* to the sink
at all anymore and now when you turn on the faucet it rocks back and
forth and even lifts up about an inch or so off the sink. The
faucet's pipes obviously are attached to the plumbing under the sink.
Do I just add some more plumber's putty? From what I've read that
stuff isn't really used as an adhesive.
I've been reading up on it a little bit and some people suggested
"mounting" the faucet with silicon.....but I was wondering if/how well
that would adhere the rubber faucet base to the porcelain sink. Or is
caulk the way to go?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Lisa
