Default Leaking sink waste connection ?

Tonyb wrote:
I have just fitted a new sink in my cloakroom which has one of these
click/clack waste fittings, with the overflow running into the
slotted waste fitting The plug fitting drops through the hole in the
sink, with a plastic washer between the plug and sink, with another
plastic washer/seal that fits under the sink with a large nut to
tighten the plug to sink joint. My problem is I cannot tighten the
nut enough to prevent water running down the thread of the waste
fitting below the sink. I'm guessing that the water is finding a
route either between the plug and sink on the top side, or possibly
through the lower washer ? Is there a better way of sealing this ?


Buy a tube of Fernox LS-X, apply thinly to all mating surfaces, leave for an
hour.
