RE: New bathroom sink replacement bead sealer

Why do people think everything is Silicone??? Silicone is not a great adhesive.
DAP Easy-to-use acrylic latex that bonds like a glue and seals like a caulk. It tools easily and provides a durable, mildew resistant, watertight seal with excellent adhesion and flexibility.
They make the same in white.

Thanks, I think this is a better choice than the butyl tape.

RE: New bathroom sink replacement bead sealer

First you need to tell us what type of sink. Stainless that has clips to draw it down tight or self rimming that just sets in place?????
It's a JR plastic small bathroom sink. Has 4 plastic clips that screw into vanity top. Question, Out here in Southern California the temperature is in high 90's. Do you think leaving the butyl tape in the sun will make it softer and more sticky and help molding into shape? I want the tape made into a roll.

RE: New bathroom sink replacement bead sealer

RV manufacturers often use the same butyl putty tape to install sinks that they use to install doors, windows, vents, etc.

New bathroom sink replacement bead sealer

I am replaceing my bathroom sink and it has a white gooey paste like bead around it making it difficult to pull off. I have it all cleaned up and the new sink ready to go in. What's the bead? Does look like a very soft version of plumbers putty. Can't used Dicor or anything that will dry hard.

RE: New 2 stage PD lithium Converter charger yet?

Thanks for all the replies. I am sticking with what I have for now. Not a problem hitting the charge wizard if I need extra charge. Usually in the morning after running the microwave at dinner, furnace and TV satellite the night before. It’s down 80 to 100 amps and my 300 watts of solar won’t come close to recharging to 200amps full charge..

New 2 stage PD lithium Converter charger yet?

When I installed lithium batteries 18 months ago I also changed out my converter charger. I didn't want it constantly charging 14.4 volts. so I returned it and have been using my original PD converter charger and just hit the charge wizard to get it fully charged. With 300 watts of roof top solar and an MTTP controller, it stay fully charged shile camping. But I heard that PD was going to produce a 2 stage one that drops to 13.6 after fully charging the batteries. Wondered if they came out with it? Can't find it on their site if they did. they have changed the num,bers around with upgrades so I may have missed it.

RE: Electric bikes !!

I bought a Lectric XP 2.0 last month and love it. But I didn't care for the pedal assist. Maybe I have it set up wrong in the adjustments. I delayed the assist to start after a few pedal turns . when it kicks in, it goes 5.5 mph and won't go slower on PAS1. So I tried using the throttle also with pedal delay start. That way I can pedal and give it a little throttle assist and keep my speed down. The DW rides a trike and crusies around 5-7.5 mph. so throttle use when needed seems to work. But I wonder if there is something wrong with just pedal assist not going slower than 5.5 mph?
Because you have a cadence sensor your bike is set up to go a certain speed at each level. The motor only senses that you're pedaling not how hard you're pedaling.
A torque sensor senses how hard you're pushing on the pedals and the motor responds to that.
So there is nothing I can do about it, right? Just usea little throttle to give a slow speed assist.
