Ok, I confess. I'm gullible. I thought Jodi was serious about the Duct Tape. I tried it and it didn't help at all. ::snort:: In my defense, we recently moved from Alaska where there are yearly stories of hunters/hikers taping themselves together after bear attacks. Duct tape can fix ANYTHING - except, evidently MY SINK!
However, the project is done and seems to be holding. I took it all apart and found the compression ring. The two pipes had come disconnected. I put the compression ring back in, tightened it as tight as I could, and then put Duct Tape on a small crack further down that I noticed while fixing the top section. All in all it saved $60. I've been to nervous to put things back under the sink...but it seems to be holding.
I have a sweet husband who called me long-distance and talked me through each step of the project!

I'm sorry that the duct tape didn't work. It fixed my broken pipe for a good month until hubby got a chance to look at it. I guess even duct tape has it's limits, wh'd have thought! I've been reading the Sue Henry Alaska mysteies lately and laugh every time she mentions duct tape.
Hooray that you did fix the sink!
