We used black epoxy to fix some things like that.

Hey Melissa, 

That a great question, I would think some type of silicone sealant would be your best option. I'm excited to hear what others might have in mind.

Would appreciate any assistance with this random laboratory question…The plumber at my facility is asking me what type of putty/epoxy/sealant (I really don’t know) he can use to repair the connection in our laboratory sink. It is where the sink basin connects to the drain. Over the years the old material has degraded and allowed for leaking. Any ideas on a specific product or even a generic material type?

 

The sink itself is the standard lab grade, black epoxy resin material you see in most labs.

 

Thanks,
