Right on, very glad I found this forum. Also very sad to hear about Terry's passing. Sounds like a great dude.
I am from the USA but live out here in Croatia. Did a total renovation of a flat in an old high-rise (with a crew), and have several questions. This is the least interesting question of the lot.
We bought a wood vanity for the bathroom, and a ceramic sink bowl which mounts on top of that. We have a pop drain, called a "klik-klak" by plumbers here. The problem is that the thickness of the wooden vanity + the thickness of the ceramic sink bowl leaves the threads a little short. The nut that tightens the tailpiece to the drain gets on the threads fine and gets very tight so the sink itself does not leak, but it the rubber gasket in the tailpiece does not quite contact the drain, and that connection is leaking.
I am wondering if the only thing I can get is a new, thicker rubber gasket, or if I can just put a bunch of silicon tape on the threads. From what I can see, there is no such thing as plumber's putty here. I've looked for it in plumbing shops and have never seen it.
Ideally everything looks great, because the drain and trap are have a nice, metal design.
