I have a 50+ year old stainless drainboard with integral stainless double sinks. It has never had a garbage disposal but I want to add one. I must remove the old drain ring from the left-hand sink to put in the one provided with the disposal unit. This drain ring is the usual cup-shaped thing with a threaded outlet on the bottom, but it's surrounded by another cup-shaped thing attached to the underneath side of the sink with some kind of black stuff. This cover has a large clearance hole in it, and the drain ring outlet sticks out through that. Then the spud nut screws up to the cover. Well the spud nut came off fine, but I have not been able to remove either the drain ring or the cover, in spite of heat gunning the heck out of it from to and bottom and prying as much as I dare. The black stuff yields a little and I could keep working on it, but I don't want to wreck stuff, so I'm checking here. Anyone have experience with one of these?
