And I can't see how any 'rubber' (that isn't liquid) will ever fully
seal what is a fairly sharp metal thread, without some additional
sealant?


You wouldn't, would you.

The only exception would be if the rubber had it's own internal thread
that coincided with the thread on the waste fitting


It does.

but even then it
would never fully 'sync' (excuse the pun), depending on how much you
compressed the rubber.


********.

It is my prediction that it will still leak


Left all day with basin full of water. Not a drop.

Read the reviews here.

"Excellent product for under £2. Avoids need to use messy sealants."

"Got a perfect seal without the need for Plumbers Mait"

"Did exactly what was required - no leaks, brilliant"

"After three attempts at trying to stop the water seeping down the
threads of the trap I opted for this. Instant success and it didn't need
anything else added except a bit of soap to lubricate the thread as it's
a tight fit"

etc. etc.
