- The sink fell off? No problem. You can mount it back within 10 minutes and the cost is less than $10
The loctite PL 3x stronger adhesive was purchased at a local Home Depot
The car jack is genius! Thanks for sharing!
Awww thank u! Yeah it dropped like it was hot and i didn’t have time to fix it. Hence, i jacked it up temporarily until i have the time. Pls don’t over jack it which can cause dent to your sink. Good luck and thanks again for stopping by and leaving us your comment 🥰
Thanks for VDO.. Smart using car jack..very good tips
Glad you came across our videos. Yeah, i figured we should use something that well all have. LoL. I suggest you use the gorilla adhesive from home depot.
I think all sinks should be "drop in" as part of the building code requirement. A lot of dumb plumbers just glue in sink without support & when it drops (with full of water), it is disastrous. That happened to me. I was so mad when I realized it wasn't braced or supported at all. Tells me a lot of plumbers are just plain stupid, shouldn't be plumbers. At least support it with a 2x4 or something.
The reason I'm here...
I’m a real kitchen fitter , and the 🤠🤡 I’ve seen on RUclips pretending to be fitters makes me laugh. It’s comedy gold except if you’re one of the poor bstds whose sink has fallen through…
Trust me, the liquid nailing blocks from the bottom WILL eventually "let go" and your sink WILL fall; my sink was put up this way many years ago, 10-12, and wanna guess why i'm looking at this video? It did hold for a good number of years, but we all know when everything fails lol. Have read and appreciate many good ideas in here and will be using a couple; ill be using the fuze-it to put the blocks back up and will then measure and cut boards to screw up under the sink horizontally from end to end, using L brackets on the ends of the boards and screwing them boards under the blocks to "secure" the blocks in place; this way, I have the best of two ideas and doubt my sink will ever fall again...when I'm "least ready for it to fall" lol. Then ill use the 100% silicone to seal the gaps on the topside where the sink and counter meet.
Hi Tracy. Thank you for stopping by and feedback. Yeah the block was a dumb idea by the builder. Gluing it back wont do any good but the key to this is the boards. That will make it last a longggggg time 😘 .
You looked at the video to see if I did anything dumb but i am sure you satisfied after watching it 😝
Yeah, I completed my project and I'm sure I could stand in my double sink, but not gonna test that confidence lol. It turned out great, and you gave me the idea, so thanks. Im certain ill NEVER have too worry about it falling again.
@@tracykey9227 glad to hear this!! Yeah i am one of those guys that like to get thing done for the first and last time. This quick solution will help for its life. Have a wonderful new year!!
This vid is another 🤡show
You all way do great job excellent perfect 👌 😂👏🤣👏🍟🍔🍟😍👍🏾🍷👍🏾🍷👍🏾😇
What kind of glue did you used?
Hello, i used www.homedepot.com/p/Loctite-PL-Premium-10-oz-Polyurethane-Construction-Adhesive-Tan-Cartridge-each-1390595/202020473?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D24-024_004_ADHESIVES-BI-LOCTITE_17690-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK780432200-19374-NBR-17690-NA-VNT-FY23_Adhesives_V2&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D24-024_004_ADHESIVES-BI-LOCTITE_17690-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK780432200-19374-NBR-17690-NA-VNT-FY23_Adhesives_V2-71700000116144115--&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAolLu9-txdAKY6uFDhaPxUMrpemjm&gclid=CjwKCAiAvdCrBhBREiwAX6-6UldbQZp27eeJN92zeDenYVtNGLgsUfCOu1ZtRqhKZubKcXBweuM0zBoCON4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Why did it fall? Will it fall again?
Thank you for stopping by. The builder did not mount it well. They glued the undersink to the granite with adhesive. It has been the same since the day i fixed it. If you don’t have a good support for your undersink then I encourage you to build a support before it is too late.
Now we all can see how NOT to do it. Thats why he made this video. So stop bashing.
Thank you for stopping by. What makes you say that this was not the right way when it is working as it should
Hello there! I am another under the counter sink-sag “experiencer”, lol. Just a note, I see you have mounting clips under the counter on each side of the sink, but you did not use them. If the clips were used, then the wood supports you made would not be necessary.
The clips I am referring to can be seen from 6:50 - 7:02 on the video.
Hello Hubbit. Thank you for stopping by and leaving us a comment. There were mounting clips the builders used, but guess what? LoL they did not do a good job. The correct way is to cut into the granite so the clip can clip in, but instead they just glued the clips onto the granite and sink 🤦♂️. This house was built in 2006 when the housing market was booming and builders just wanted to build and sell. My wood support has been working so well and i am happy with the result 🥰
@@hubbitgray9427 i am very well aware of this. My first fix when it happened was to glue it back and lasted only a year then fell off again. It was clued onto the granite by the builder 🤦♂️
Use painters tape BEFORE silicone or epoxy!
Great tips
Why, what's the point of that?
@@infamousnova using the tape gives you a straight finished edge and minimizes clean up.
Hi there! I just did exactly the same thing , is it still holding?
Hello. Thank you for stopping by. Not sure why others were talking negatively about my quick and easy fix because it has been holding since this video was created and no issues at all with the bottom support by the wood.
@@TKBlog don’t listen to negative comments, every time you are doing something good you will have envious people trying to sabotage your purpose.
But I’ll tell you thank you for this video it is a reliable fix. God bless you
@@messas3406 awwww thank u! This should be a good permanent fix if one plans to use the same sink. Otherwise, no need to remove the whole sink and repipe… more headaches and money. Thanks again for stopping by and leaving us your comment. Have a safe and blessing holidays
Messa - it has been over 3 months for you. Is it still holding good? Mine has been.
@@TKBlog yes it has! It great. it’s a permanent solution
At 2:45 you show us that you cleaned off the brackets. Did you reinstall them after gluing the sink back?
Thanks so much for this video. Solved a major problem for me :)
Hello- yes I did mount them back. However, it is best to mount the sink with two piece of wood 1” by 4” on both sides. Last a long time!
undermount sink sucks tbh. I got one and it's just bad design overall. Nothing is supporting it but the epoxy.
Cant agree more. It looks good but if someone did not build a good support before then this will be the issue
@@TKBlog i mean even the sink it self doesn't have anything that you can bolt on or something that you can latch a bracket on for support. You have to rely on the epoxy strength or buy some brackets for it. You got to always watch what you put in the sink. Too much and it just crash. With the top mount the sink is automatically supported never fail.
@@spicydogsoup yeah that is why adding the wood support near the end of the clip is one of the best ways to hold it
Not roubt; it is THE BEST way to support and hold it and SHOULD BE common practice with these type sinks, but isnt only due to "additional" costs involved.
why not replace it with a drop-in sink
Because nothing is wrong with this one beside the support. Beside no need for us to spend the money for the new one. This only costs us less than 20$
it looks nicer with the infinity edge. Overtop is more reliable that is for sure but just doesn't look as nice. I think if it's well mounted it would work really well but if you rely on a contractor to do it they do a shit job.
@@spicydogsoup i agreed a million times with you. Obviously it was done badly by our builder that is why I had to suffer and ended up doing a quick, cheap fix and share this video with anyone who may have the same problem. If does look nice but somebody gotta put some love when they put this in. A good support would do and what i did will last for a good time!
Jesus remove the sink clean it right re epoxy your clips.lay caulk down before raising sink.
Thank you for your suggestion but that was just a quick fix. By removing the sink, it will require me to remove the drainage pipes causing unnecessary work. That is why i did not do it that way.
I hate that people bash others for doing something differently then someone else might but jesus christ this was terrible! Why post a video of how to be a complete hack? Is this a parody? Have I been had?
This is a disaster. Why post it? Im embarrassed for him.
Bro that glue is not meant for that. Tjat sink will never come out. Definitely don't suggest this method
Then that is even better :) i dont want that sink to ever come out the life i live here:)
I thought that was the whole point right? Am I missing something? Is the sink supposed to come out ?
