It s most often used to caulk countertops and backsplash since it creates a clean finish.
Caulk vanity to wall.
Make sure the wall is straight and there are no gaps between the wall and vanity.
You ll need to lift it high enough to allow the drain assembly to clear the cabinet.
Smooth each of these with your finger or a caulk joint tool and wipe excess caulk with a damp rag.
Squeeze the trigger and pull the caulk gun along the crack.
Tool the caulk by drawing your finger along it to form a concave surface.
Apply the caulk with a caulking gun.
Since sanded caulk can crack tile and other materials when it expands in too small of a space unsanded caulk should be used to fill tight joints that are smaller than 1 8 inch wide.
If your vanity does not come with adjustable legs use shims under the base until vanity is level on each side.
Advanced adhesives specifically for granite counter tops are the choice here.
Set the vanity top into position and firmly press down.
Caulking won t work here not without filling that crack with shims to make a really tight wedge to stop any movement.

10 wait 24 hours.

Unsanded caulk has a smooth appearance and texture.
Silicone caulking is still used on rimmed sink installations to seal out water.
Mounting a vanity sink to a granite bathroom counter top requires another type of glue one that bonds to granite and the sink surface.
Choose a color that matches the countertop and spread a thin continuous bead with no voids.
Pound them in to just so slightly below the edges fill with spackle sand smooth when really good and dry and paint.
The widget is a good idea to remove caulk and get a smooth surface first.
Point the tip of the caulk tube at the end of the first space between your bathroom sink and the wall.
Check to make sure the vanity top is level and flush to the wall.
Get someone to help you lift the top and gently drop it onto the cabinet.
Add backsplash if necessary.
