Default Chaulking

I just installed a bathroom vanity sink and the custumer went with the old sink which had no under mount clips so I ran a bead of liquid nail along the seam inside and under where the sink meets the counter and then on top a bead of white pheonoseal. The liqiud nail yellowish color has seaped through the white. I am going to scrape of the chaulk and do another toop bead, What is the best prouduct to bring the white back so the yellow dosent seaps through?

Benny,
Double check your spelling when expaining a problem. I am having a little difficulty understanding exactly what you are asking. Let me see if I can help based on what I think you mean. First off, what material was the sink made out of and is it white in color? Scrape off all the liquid nails, caulking, etc., so both the sink bottom and countertop are clean. Also, what kind of material is the countertop made of? If you are dealing with a china bowl, you probably wouldn't have clips. So is it a porcelain on steel bowl? If it is, try using white 100% GE silicone. Put a generous bead under the lip of the sink where it would it would contact the countertop. Wipe off any excess once the sink is in place. Fill the sink with water so it has some weight in it. (tailpiece and drain stopper need to be in place in order to plug sink.) Put a small bead of the same white silicone around the edge of the sink and carefully tool off any excess. Let it sit overnight. You should be ok, now. Same thing with a china bowl, although any good white caulk like polyseamseal, or one of the siliconized acrylics would work with china. Hope this helps,
Mike Hawkins

I would remove the sink and scrape off the Liquid Nail and anything else you applied. I would use only Polyseamseal Adhesive Caulk, for just about any sink type installation. I would not use silicone or siliconized caulk.

I to am with Cabinetman on this one. I glue all kinds of sinks down with polyseamseal adhesive caulk.
