Replace Bathroom Sink Drain. Plumbers Puttty or Silicone?

[@howtodoitdude1662]

Looks like spud washer was missing underneath. Using silicone with the provided washer was a good idea. I hope it holds over time. Thanks for sharing!

What kind of plumbers putty did you use?I know there’s really 2 & one is not recommended for plastic or ABS if that’s what that pop up drain is made of.Thanks.

FYI the following is copied straight from Oatey's website (putty brand): 'Plumber's putty should not be used on plastics (Acrylic or ABS) because it will affect the integrity of the material and lead to product failure'.

So you ended up using silicone it looked like after you said it don't need it?

When I trim out new sinks I do not use silicone. If there is a sink leaking like this one I put insurance (Silicone) on it.

Another popular term is called "I know what I am doing", not to be confused with "I pray this works".
