Thanks for the reply.

The sink is now installed ready for the worksurface. In the end I opted
to bed the sink on Plumber's Mait just to level if off and stop the
wobbles and then seal round the edges with a good quality silicone
sealer. The worksurface will be granite so I'm not worried about the rot
issue but I have to say I'm a little worried about all the negative views
of this kind of sink. I personally like the look of the sink and we have
chosen a fairly small one, I just hope that it will be more practical than
the responses seem to suggest.

cheers
Mat.

Depends what else you use.

Plumber's Mait is squishy and takes a decade to even think of curing.
This makes a good seal for plugholes, but a poor locator for sinks
(and why I don't use it). It's probably a good way to stop minor
wobbliness in the feel of the sink, but you need something else to
stop the whole thing sliding sideways if nyone happens to bang into it
by accident.

I'd fit the sink, making sure it's level, then fit the worktop to
suit. Level other bits to suit it if necessary.

What is the worktop BTW ? You need solid timber with a Belfast sink
(or else some sort of stonework) because one of these Happy Shopper
chipboard jobbies will only last about 6 months before the ends are
dank and festering (why I would never use a Belfast sink myself)
