    Gledhill boilermate 1 - boiler pump running all the time?

    Best product to bond an undermount composite sink to quartz

    Anyone help with this, is it just a general bonding silicon, or are there specialist bonding products specifically for bonding composite to quartz? I've also been advised to build some form of wooden support under the rim of the sink to help keep the sink secure - any advice welcomed, thanks.

    Camray 3 efficiency?
