Thanks Ryan for your video. I recently started to work with my brother doing handyman work. I personally have a sink that after watching your video, just realized never had the brackets installed(maybe not enoug space?), instead, (you won’t believe it), they only attached to the side walls of the cabinet, two pieces of 2x4 to hold the sink from falling. Now it is completely loose just like your video. no silicone or any type of epoxy to keep it glued. Keep up the good work, I believe soon I will try to do it myself the proper way. there is water damage to the bottom wood and the sink bottom is peeling, I will get a new one. Blessings.

Hey Vinny, Our kitchen sink dropped just like the one you videoed. It was only installed 7 years ago, our last house had one installed in 2007 and it is still fine. Thanks for your video it helped with supplies needed. Our sink had no clips so it was resting on the drain pipes, but I cut 2X4’s and put in place like yours were. I’m HC so this will be a full day job, so I’ll get the longer dry time epoxy. Keep helping us out buddy.

So I have a single heavy porcelain undermount sink that is clearly falling. I am going to get a couple 3rd hands to help support it because part of it is not detached yet. In your video it looked similar.. part of it wasn't detached. Did you loosen the 4 corner brackets to allow it to drop a bit all around and then scrape everything off? I couldn't tell if you did that in this or just put the epoxy and the silicone sealer in the area where it was dropping but left the rest alone? I found some JBWeld two part (but single syringe) 5020 psi.

The clips were still holding in place. The sink fell enough where I could still acct. I did not adjust brackets. I did tighten after I was done. If you work alone maybe use a car jack under disposal with a niece of wood to stabilize. If you can add epoxy everywhere than great. The silicone seal will help add support.

this might be a silly question, but would putting the silicone over the epoxy "block" the epoxy from sticking as hard, in a way? Or does the epoxy go farther back, and the silicone near the edge to form that seal, and thus avoid that overlap? (also - i noticed you put the epoxy on the granite and the silicone on the sink - is that on purpose, or does it not matter?) - signed, a person who has Never touched epoxy in her life (OH final question - can I use the sink in that 24 hr window as long as the wood remains propping it up?)
@vinnythehandyman
@vinnythehandyman Ай бұрын
Hi Julia, Adding the epoxy first is the way to go. You don’t have to add on granite and sink. I just did it for better bonding. The epoxy will dry fast. If epoxy leaked out too much in front after pressure is applied just wipe off. I wouldn’t use sink for 24hours once you apply the silicone because it takes longer to dry. If you get silicone every where you can wipe down with paint thinner and a rag. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

There’s a good chance it might hold with the silicone. Just make sure you put enough silicone in the gaps. You can also use a small car jack using a piece of 2x4 and apply light pressure under garbage disposal to give a nice tight seal and lift sink. Leave for 24hours. If that doesn’t work then go back to expoxy and silicone like video.

Hello, honestly I can’t remember exact length. You will be fine if you leave an extra 1/2” to 1” on cut. Just measure outer edge of sink to wood base. Also a small car jack under garbage disposal works too. Just protect disposal with a piece of wood.

Hey - just wanted to ask - what are your thoughts on Undermount sink clips? I've seen this being recommended for undermount sinks - but most say that it should be silicone (not caulk, as it is often confused between the 2) - and silicone alone left properly to dry with the wood to hold it in place. Thanks in advance!

Clips offer extra support. If you don’t have clips then you can use wood shims and apply epoxy. - silicone is water and mold proof. Caulking will turn black and mold. -yes, silicone can offer a nice seal however, you don’t want separation in a few years.

so the epoxy fully hardens, then silicone gets applied in big blobs and sits 24 hours (I imagine it fully sets) then put wood supports (do you push the sink up at all?) and leave them sort of wedged in for ever? what does the epoxy even do? is it because silicon won't stick to stainless?
@vinnythehandyman
@vinnythehandyman Жыл бұрын
Hi Kevin! In theory the clips that are attached with epoxy holds the sink in place. The epoxy that I applied just adds to more strength from falling again in the future. The wood supports are applied to keep the epic and silicone seal nice and tight. It’s like putting putting a gasket on a header of a car engine if that makes sense. Yes, wait 24 hours for silicone to dry. This give it a water proof seal and helps sink stick with another seal. Silicone is create a nice bond. It’s been almost 3 years since I did the work and it still holds. Once dry remove wood. Hope this helps clarify. Good luck

I was waiting for someone to point this out. I believe that after silicone treatment you push sink against granite to form the bond THEN wait 24hrs for seal for mature while both sides continue to be forced together. The video makes it look like wait 24 hrs then Force the two sides together.

Use razor blade. Not sure if paint thinner will work but you can try.

What if there are no clips? Can the epoxy hold the sink by itself?
@vinnythehandyman
@vinnythehandyman Жыл бұрын
Yes if applied around the entire sink. However, I would use small pieces of wood and glue them to bottom of granite and sink to hold for extra insurance. Once the epoxy dries, then use clear silicone around sink.

@traycevlogs1580 Hi Tracy! Unfortunately I do not. Hopefully I can still help. For starters do exactly what I said in the video. Once sink is still supported by wood post or even a car jack then use wood wedges from Home Depot. Apply epoxy to underside of granite and sink. Be very liberal with epoxy and add every six to eight inches to give strength. Let dry and then remove jack or wood post. Let me know how it Turns out. If you use a small car jack, put a piece of wood under garbage disposal so you don’t break it and then pump jack to underside of wood. That will give you good equal lift and support.

We are getting ready to tackle a home that has thin countertops as well as very thin cabinets. It had no clips holding it up and was only held by silicone. There are 2 1×2 s holding it up now. I think a platform like a table should be built but my friend wants to screw boards to the cabinet on one side that will be seen. The other side is a dishwasher. . Yes there is plumbing but I think there is enough room to do the platform under the cabinet...any ideaa? BTW this is track homes and 4 other homes are having the same ussue

Mine just fell. There's no epoxy or silicone to clean off and only two clips, so I guess Home Depot figured to make my repair job easier for me to do! Yay. SMH.

Why didn't you completely remove it and put it back on?

@vinnythehandyman Жыл бұрын
You can but I had enough clearance to leave on. The plumbing kept it up so that was helpful working alone. But yes, I could of taken it off but then the garbage disposal and all plumbing would be removed because of weight. Thanks for watching.

I believe it’s one way that’s simple for most homeowners to accomplish. I’m sure there are better options with better tool set ups. Remember, a professional who originally installed didn’t do a good job. Currently Sink is still up two years later. Please add a better option in comments to help homeowners with more options. Thank you!

@@vinnythehandyman Gladly! My under hung sink installed by "professionals" , has fallen twice. After researching, I have determined that for this application, one of several types of mechanical support methods must be used, supplemented by a silicone sealed perimeter on perfectly cleaned bonding surfaces. Unfortunately we have to be our own advocates in this environment of unqualified "professionals". My advice in any project is to use KZbin, and other sources to have a personal understanding of the proper tools and procedures.

Excellent points! When I come across another sink issue I would like to provide another option or just a whole new video going over 3 options to use. I need a studio 😂. This seems to be a overwhelming problem lately in the trades. Thanks for your response as this forum is to help homeowners anyway possible.
