Solid surface countertop hardware requirements may vary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With the countertop upside down, clean the counter hole and sink. Rim it with denatured alcohol. Position the sink over the counter hole and mark the guidelines. For proper placement, <strong>apply a bead of caulk at 1\/8 to 1\/4 inch in diameter along the edge of the hole<\/strong>. Place the sink on the countertop, then attach it to your mounting hardware. The edge of the clip should overlap the sink ledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once the countertop is installed, wipe any excess caulk from the sink rim, and finish up by connecting the faucet and drain fittings.
