just a little bit to knock off right there I read that it said just hand tighten these I don't know that I'm willing to actually just hand tighten these right do yourself a favor you're gonna end up going a little tighter than that I don't know I put this down started this way just because I think it's going to be easier to to actually tighten it up evenly if I go with that washer and the metal washer and then the rubber washer I will just get this put in here foreign get that tightened and started see that's a little bit down I want them all do the same that's probably good it's starting to get a little tight so before I tighten these though what I was thinking is I'll take a little bit of this blue thread locker and I'll just put a touch right up at the edge here and if you squeeze just a little bit it'll actually suck the rest back into the tube and now we'll just tighten all these up evenly so if we just did that hand tight this is where this is sitting and it's not even down enough it hasn't even really pushed out a lot of plumber's putty we'll get a lot more to go you could use a screwdriver in this slot I'm just going to go ahead and use this little adjustable jaw foreign to me [Music] all right so we got that all hooked up let's have a look and see how that feels that feels pretty good it's gonna peel pretty good that's all
