What happens here

For a watertight seal, apply either silicone sealant or plumber's putty to the top section of the drain assembly where it meets the sink surface. While both options are viable, the demonstrator expresses a personal preference for silicone due to its superior sealing properties and longevity, even acknowledging that the company he represents produces plumber's putty. This ensures a durable and leak-proof installation.

Goal: When installing the drain, it is recommended to apply either silicone or plumber's putty to the top part to create a watertight seal, with a preference expressed for silicone.
