After removing and cleaning out a clogged bathroom p-trap and replacing the faucet hole, it looks like I need some form of a sealer for it to be leak free. I noticed a black substance above the thread on the faucet hole chrome rim-top? that connects to the stopper assembly part of the drain from the sink. Looks to me like some sort of a sealer or putty is needed for the chromed faucet hole? to be leak proof, between the sink and drain. Thank You for any lesson and assistance with this Rookie's quest to be a jack of all trades...master of some :o[)!
If you go to any hardware store they sell exactly what you are talking about. It is called plumbers putty. Super easy to use, you just pull some out of the container, roll it up so it stretches out into a long tube with your hands (kind of like when we used to do in kindergarten with playdough. Once you have a long strip wrap it around the sink bowl pull off the excess and tighten the nut on under the sink. You will have some of it squish out on the edge that you can pull off with your hands take a razor blade and you can clean it up to where you can't see any sealant at all.
