How to install a faucet and reinstall garbage disposal for countertop replacement
What happens here
With the disposal flange now removed, it's essential to clean off all remnants of old plumber's putty and any other debris. The presenter demonstrates using a paper towel and a finger to scrape away the old putty, noting that sometimes a screwdriver might be needed for stubborn residue. Once clean, take a small amount of fresh plumber's putty, roughly the size of a large bouncy ball, and roll it between your hands to form a 'snake' or 'pizza crust' shape. This putty snake is then wrapped around the underside lip of the disposal flange, ensuring even coverage. The presenter advises to work the putty in gently and evenly around the entire circumference of the flange.
Goal: The salvaged disposal flange is cleaned of old plumber's putty and new putty is applied, prepared for installation in the new sink.
