So for anyone who may remember my two-drain slop sink and basement sink/laundry plumbing cleanup... I have worked out a frame out of galvanized pipe which worked a treat, sorted out my supply solution, and even figured out a way to plumb drainage without the risk of sewer gas sticking around in my life. A good few days indeed!
On the other hand, turns out said slop sink (bought used off Facebook) is a little weepy at one of the corners. It is not a stamped basin but rolled and welded, and it looks like it gets a little crunchy where the leg supports (now redundant in my setup) are tack welded to the basin. I rarely if ever expect to fill up that side as it's traditionally been the "storage" side in the old sink, and it's a basement so if it leaks a little it won't make any difference, but I still would like to seal it if I can. Short of welding, brazing, or soldering (maybe not even the preferred method in this setup), what's the go-to for stainless leaks. JB Weld, silicone, some other epoxy mix? Attached pic of the area though you can't really see the drip.. it's more or less from the fat spot weld to the left.
Final question on drain plumbing. I know it is less than ideal and eventually I want to fix it right because the biggest problem is the horizontal santee in the sewer line, but short of final align and glue, this is what I ended up with. Just wondering how divergent from code this may be. Long story short nobody is inspecting it, it works, and it's better than it was... just curious if it's more right than wrong.
Thanks as always!
