Glueman,

Does that not do the same as gluing a pc of solid surface over the flange in regards to not being able to remove it? If the sink needs to be replaced how do you get it loose? While you normally do not have to replace a stainless steel sink it does happen.

MUrban, if you’re planing on only using an adhesive to attach that undermount to stone, you will be asking for trouble in my opinion. Feel free to call me at 1-866-FED-SAW1 (333-7291) and I’ll send you samples of bowl clips that A) work & B) are a no brainer.

[Mark Urbaniak]

No Dave not planing on doing that………LOL……..I would have to put it to the shop test…Before ever installing a job without clips………We use sink clip now for S/S..Brackets for Cast Iron

[Matt Pedersen]

You would not believe the people that do it that way. arrggghhh

What clips are you currently using?

[Mark Urbaniak]

we get them from integra or grand quartz

[Karen Schmidt]

Ok, what are they? What do they look like? The only reason I ask is that we have several types.

[Mark Urbaniak]

look like your fedclips 2 for sink and your fedclip1 adjustable for dishwashers

My guys are taught that silicone is a sealant.

Not a fastener.

Not a filler.

We use surface bond drillless fastener from a company called Chemical Concepts. http://www.chemical-concepts.com They also sell a two part expoxy that you could pull tree stumps out with to mount. More expensive, but saves a ton of time vs drilling and mounting brass grommets. We have had issues with grommets coming out from time to time also.

[Brent McCoy]

Gotcha MUrban and Matt, the epoxy is made by a company called Devcon. Real tough stuff.

[Tom M]

Same as Matt here.
We use a different one from Chem. Concepts for the dishwasher. Matt, we are currently using a 3-M epoxy. You really like Chem Concept’s glue?

Also used the vance for cast-iron or porcelin sinks. Works really well, in my opinion.

Tom, 3M epoxy? You have to much money my friend. I’m putting a tube of Devcon on UPS for you today. Give it a try.

[Tom M]

Much thanks, Dave. You consider this the same quality?

Tom

Tom, I have not used 3M’s epoxy. I just know that it’s pricey. FEDSAWWES did his own demo on this. He took Clip2 which is the round drill less fastener, attached it to a piece of Solid Surface with Devcon epoxy, then tied a 5 gallon bucket of water to the 3/4″ threaded leg and it held. While not a totally scientific way of proving the strength of the epoxy, it never the less held.
