Hi All:
The two most common sealants would be silicone or smooth-on epoxy.
The ultimate answer would depend on how the sink is used and what chemicals were routinely poured down the drain. I also recommend the plumber check the P trap or other trap attached
to the drain and (probably) replace it as a precaution.

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 questionÉThe 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.
