    Safety Note: Use rubber gloves and safety glasses when gluing and cutting pipe.

    1. Apply a line of silicon sealant around the edge of the opening (figure A). This will hold the sink into place and create a watertight seal.

    2. Place small blocks of wood around the corners of the sink opening (figure B). The blocks serve as spacers, keeping your fingers from getting pinched between the sink and the workbench.

    3. Finally, put the sink and faucet into place.
