Hi all, great site - wish I'd found it before I started my bathroom!
Anyway, bathroom sink has pop-up waste and has been leaking. Following advice from someone, I took it to bits, dried it all off and reassembled as told to with plenty of silicone.
I'm a bit worried now though as I've read that you shouldn't overtighten nuts and I screwed on the large plastic nut that went underneath the sink to hole the waste on, really tightly. Hand tight then probably 3 (I think) quarter turns with tool.
Silicone is almost dry now so not easy to take off and redo. Is this an issue I need to worry about? I haven't checked for leaks as I was waiting until silicone was completely dry.
Does it really make a difference if the plastic nut is too tight? What would happen? Do I need to be concerned or am I worrying for nothing?
Cheers for any advice.
