Hi everybody, my wife just came home with a beautiful vessel sink and faucet. I've helped install a stainless steel vessel before with a friend, but never a clear glass one. The stainless model had two screws that came from underneath the counter to keep the sink in place, but how does the glass stay in place? Do you glue or caulk around the underside to keep it in place?

Thanks for your help!

Most I have seen use silicone between the vessel and the counter. This is also true of the drain flange. The drain should only be hand tight with clear silicone used instead of Plumbers putty. Good luck.
