reinforcing stainless steel sink

[ajrobb]

I have a cheap stainless steel sink and draining board. Last time I used metal this thin I was wrapping a turkey.

I don't want to spend proper money on a heavy gauge sink. Can I stiffen it with fibreglass or similar?

I'd imagine the draining board part of it will be the most obvious bit to "bounce" - you could try sticking some battens to the underside with epoxy resin. The other part that will be noticable will be the tap area - the only way that springs to mind, other than getting or making larger backplates, is to use rigid tap tails (instead of flexis) secured to the wall or the cupboard.

Stop dancing on the sink.

Stop dancing on the sink.

You don't mean... tap dancing?

Stop dancing on the sink.

But the shiny metal is so Hollywood, who can resist?

All that glistens isn't necessarily stainless

waste of time these cheap sinks.

Try plugging for a Franke sink

You'll be bowled over

I am feeling rather drained now .

overflowing with ideas.




batons under the drainer is a good idea.
