What happens here

This video demonstrates how to repair a collapsed kitchen sink. The repair process involves three main steps: First, remove any old silicone from the sink and countertop to ensure a clean surface for the new silicone. Second, position the sink against the countertop and secure it temporarily using a quick grip wood clamp and a wooden block. This holds the sink in place while applying new silicone and allows it to cure properly. Finally, install cable straps made from steel cable and hooks. These straps are attached to the back of the sink's rim and the underside of the countertop, providing extra support to prevent the sink from collapsing again. This method reinforces the sink, especially if the original mounting was insufficient or damaged.
