QUOTE(Cherry.Lil @ Aug 22 2014, 04:25 PM) Wanted to ask for advice on the black rubber at the bottom of sink.. My old sink is starting to have water leak, I suspect it's leaking from the black rubber. Was told that the rubber is suppose to act as absorbent. Is the rubber replaceable or do i have to change the entire basin to fix my water leak issue? that rubber thing is just for sound deadening. yours is a stainless steel sink correct? maybe its the drain fitting that is leaking This post has been edited by N9484640: Aug 22 2014, 04:54 PM

QUOTE(qq.pippi @ Jun 20 2014, 04:36 PM) Thanks. So, are they from the same parent company? Yes same, italy design but made in china. Mocha will be more on targeting hardware shop. If you have budget, go for blanco. Definitely more solid feel than any other brands. This post has been edited by skloda: Aug 22 2014, 07:46 PM

Hi, just to get some info from you guys. I just bought a double bowl sink. But the sink doesn't come with the tap hole. Any idea how to open the hole? As far I know stainless steel are hard to drill.

Like that u so fast get your sink already. Lol. My kitchen cabinet contractor not confident of doing undermount. Guess I am stuck with top mount. My only gripe is the transparent silicon which I believe over time will sure turn to spotted black.

My only gripe is the transparent silicon which I believe over time will sure turn to spotted black. suddenly delayed boh pian dont put so much silicon, just put a bead on the inside inside so that when they press on it, it will spread out just a little. you put masking tape around it, any overflow lands on the tape which you tear off after installation. if they lazy, just want to wipe it off then sure will black black later on
