OK, the granite is in, new kitchen is almost up and running. The plumber came in today to set in the new sink, its a simple stainless, and was to be mounted on top. What didnt seem right is that the plumber said since I had no brackets to mount the sink in like normally underneath, and that because of the granite, its like 3 to 4 inches, too far for standard brackets to mount, he just put painters caulk around the rim, and set it right on top. Then proceeded to tell me to wait until tomorrow and it will harden a little and be fine.
Caulk for mounting a sink? Sounds like BS to me, maybe for water protection. And with the sink not being perfectly strait from shipping or whatever, it moves a little in the corners, I NEED Brackets. I went to home depot and they only had the standard Elkay Brackets that didnt look fat enough to work.
Any ideas? It is like 3 to 4 inches from the mount strip to the bottom of whatever I can grab, I have got to mount this thing and make it sit tighter...
