Hi all,
I need to mount a porcelain corner sink, which has no bolt holes. It was originally designed to sit on cast iron brackets, but brackets are not to be used this time due to the small space (narrowboat bathroom!).
I can get a set of battens on the wall to support the sink, and clamp it in place on top of these so that it cannot move forward. I will need to use some kind of adhesive to stop the sink from tipping forward when weight is applied to the front edge. This adhesive can be applied across the back of two sides, each 500mm x 120mm, and will essentially be stopping the back corner from sliding up the wall when weight is applied to the front.
So, what sort of adhesive should I use?
Oh, the wall is made of plywood. Should I seal the wall with PVA before adhering? Or will the porosity of the wood be beneficial?
Many thanks!
Tom
