The new drain is packaged with a rubber gasket, and the instructions seem to show that the gasket goes underneath the drain lip (on top of the tub). The old drain had putty in that location. I've cleaned out all the old putty, and I found...Thu, 02 Apr 2026 20:33:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/plumbers-putty-or-rubber-gasket-under-sink-flange-stainless-steel-sink.81600/The manufacturer of the new Garbage Disposal we are installing in a couple days says IF you have a stainless steel sink do not use plumber putty under the sink flange when installing, use the rubber gasket they provide instead. Well, I understand they are the manufacturer, but I am more...Wed, 04 Mar 2026 22:48:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/plumbers-putty-on-fiberglass-tub.13473/I found an old post on here that said not to use plumbers putty on a plastic tub as the oils would eat the finish and leave cracks. Use silicone instead. I installed a tub drain using plumbers putty to seal the strainer about a month ago. The tub is fiberglass w/ (I think) acrylic gel coat...Wed, 25 Feb 2026 01:35:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/bathtub-drain-seal-silicon-or-plumbers-putty.109052/I'm installing an acrylic tub (Duravit). For the drain and overflow, I'm torn between using traditional plumbers putty vs. silicon. I've been reading the pros and cons on reddit but there is no clear answer. I'm using a plumbers pack for the overflow and drain shoe (basically all pvc fittings...Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:15:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/made-mistake-plumbers-putty-on-abs-tub-drain-threads-fix-advice.105658/Anyway I used the Stain-Free Oatey plumber's putty on three threads, one the tailpiece and then the overflow slip joint and drain slip joint. (see pic) I now realize I should've used a silicone product.Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:28:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/sealing-gas-pipe-threads.36109/Back to the question>>> plumbers putty is never used on threads of any kind. PIPE DOPE, also called pipe thread paste, is what to use. Great White, Megaloc, Rectorseal Tplus2, are some good ones.Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:31:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/acrylic-tubs-silicone-vs-plumbers-putty.68479/I have seen some so called stainfree plumbers puttys. Do you plumbing pros use silicone or stainfree plumbers putty? I feel like if the tub manufacturer says to use silicone then you will have no warranty on the tub if you use plumbers putty, but I would much rather not glue the drain onto the tub with silicone.Mon, 06 Apr 2026 18:27:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/plumbers-putty-swells-out.22300/I used plumber's putty under the flange of my metal basket strainer in my stainless kitchen sink. As weeks go by, the stuff seems to absorb water and swells out. If I remove the oozed-out stuff it keeps coming out (over time). Should I re-install the basket assembly with silicone sealant?Tue, 03 Mar 2026 10:10:00 GMThttps://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/leaking-fountain-sealing-stopper.28184/I have a patio fountain that came with a large rubber stopper(2.5 dia x 1.25" thick) and a short roll of green colored putty on a roll.

Does it even matter? Secondly, assuming it is silicon, is it safe for me to cut off the silicon I can reach, turn the drain counter-clockwise to break it free, remove the old material, apply new caulk, and then screw the drain back on clockwise?Wed, 01 Apr 2026 07:41:00 GMT
