I just replaced a bathroom faucet set on a Corian lav but could not stop the drain gasket from dripping. Assuming that I did not seat it uniformly, I installed a new gasket and paid close attention to getting it squarely seated. I am still getting drips.
The replacement set is good stuff (Giagni) and I don't suspect a quality problem. Before screwing the sink flange onto the drain rim assembly, I cleaned the opening and caulked the underside of the flange with the recommended silicone caulk.
The original installation is 20 years old. It looks like some water migrated from the countertop via the hot water faucet over time and discolored the area around the bottom of the sink opening. Is this a typical problem that might be causing the poor seal? Any and all tips on how to get this baby seated will be appreciated.
Best regards,
