Mark J Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hopefully one of you will know what I'm looking at. We have a stainless steel sink in the kitchen. On the bottom of the underside of the sink there is thick stiff rubbery mat which was glued in place and has now partially come off. Does anyone know what this is? Why it's there? And any idea how to put it back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I’m pretty sure it’s a sound stiffener, if that’s the correct word. Used a lot on ss sinks. I would just use contact cement to reattach it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Like Coop said it's so when you drop something into the sink it deadens the sound so it won't sound like your dropping it in a tin box, but I would use construction adhesive like Liquid Nails cut some scrap just shy of going the bottom of the cabinet to the bottom of the sink so you can use some wedges to hold it till the glue dry's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Sound deadener. You can either cut that piece off and deal with a louder sink, glue it back on, or purchase a new piece of self stick but it doesn't effect the sink use out side of noise in any way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
