first, curse words for whoever installed the sink before. None of those clamps that are supposed to hold the sink down on the countertop were tighten.
Now the questions:
1) The flexible hose for dishwasher water supply connects to the Cu pipe and there is some white paste like toothpaste or better like heatsink paste compound you put between CPU and heatsink. what exactly is this stuff and how come it is still soft after 6 year or so when they installed the diswahsher?
2) on the bottom of stainless steel sink there are 4 pads about 1.5" wide and maybe 4-5" long that look like a thick Al tape with some sticky stuff on the back. Same 4 Al bandaides on the sides of the sink, they don't seem to serve any real purpose. What is this stuff??? what is it for?
