does it seal and stay sealed around kitchen sink? how about in bathroom sink where backsplash meets countertop? each area gets lots of water on it.

If applied properly, the area where it is being applied is dry and has been cleaned, it should. I recommend one light first coat and then fifteen minutes later another coat. Allow to dry and it should work well.

I have this sink and have no issues with "standing water", however that being said, if you want to save water, you may be disappointed because it takes more water to effectively clean or chase food down the drain. I use a dish brush to sweep food towards the drain and the faucet we have can be pulled down to help out. But as for water not draining, I've not had an issue. Maybe those that are complaining didn't bother to level their sink cabinet?

You are supposed to spray corners of kitchen cabinet under sink, around the baseboard and perhaps a bit on top. A little spray of this can goes long ways unlike other brands. You should not have to wipe anything unless if you sprayed where you store dishes, glasses, etc.. I would wipre those. Please dont spray anything that kids or pets can eat off of.

The water drains off the mat and ends up underneath it, mine does the same and i just hang it over the sink at the end of the day to let it dry overnight and that way mine never gets slimy or mouldy on the bottom.

Ours is the same and I can assume it has to do with a potential tilt in the bottom of the sink so it stays flat. Our sink is pretty flat all across and the protector sits at a slight angle but it does not interfere with anything that has to be done. It is a sink protector and it does a good job for that.

We have used it only on granite, it seals very well and did not leave a sticky surface

I went ahead and tried it on my sink and it worked as far as keeping the water from going down the drain and filling up the sink if that's what your after. It has a suction end that would keep it from wiggling around too much. If you just leave it alone it will work but if you accidentally move it a little it will lose its contact with the sink and water would seep through a bit. The weight of the water sort of holds it down against the opening of the drain along with the suction so it could work.

I used it in my kitchen and there's plenty of moisture. The only reason some areas are peeling a little around the sink is I didn't have the sink lift and put the instant Granite paper under the sink. If I had, there would be no issue, this stuff is pretty sturdy. You can cut very close around the edges of the sink, but the best application is to lift the sink and apply the granite peel under it, that way you won't have any issues with moisture. It looks AWESOME and will change the entire look of the counter.

Be prepared for a wet countertop as this thing sprays water everywhere. I think you're better off finding a faucet with a nozzle that comes straight down. Also connection from retractable spray comes lose at times and leaks.

We have not sealed ours. Just use granite cleaner only and no harsh abrasives. Dish soap of course is fine. Make sure also not to rinse anything with chemicals in the sink such as paint brushes, bug spray etc... Anything made of stone or stone polymers are porous. Hope this helps.

The water cannot seep through the mat surface. If you let the mat sit on the counter top and build up water, that water might overflow and then go under the mat. To keep the mat from getting wet or slimy it should be hung to dry (or dried with towel) after use and the counter dried too.

I bought this sink and itbis installed with small side of sink in thé right....you can.turn.it. thé inky advice i have is to be sûre to make thé hole where your water fixture goes in thé center. Without thinking i put it centered on thé big part of thé sink and it cant reach thé small part...my granite guy didnt offer up this thought. It works though because i have à fixture with à pull out to reach thé small side....which is where i have my disposal! Good sink for thé cost....it does get scratches....this is typical for this gauge of sink/stainless.

It sure does no problem. I just remodel my kitchen last month, awesome sink. The best part is the rack that comes with it. The dishes never touch the bottom...best sink ever.

With the soap drain trays it would be difficult to seal. I used an single hole pull out faucet in one hole and put a soap dispenser to match in the other hole. I keep dish soap in the dispenser and use it to wash my large kitchen pots and pans and keep a bar of lava soap on the soap tray to wash my hands. Has really added to the function of my utility room.

I think that's more of a personal habit question. I use this for my electric toothbrush head, my flosser, and my tongue cleaner. I tap all of them on the edge of the sink to get excess water off (just have always done this) and then hang them up. I haven't seen any water pooling underneath. I actually love this little holder as it keeps my stuff up and out of the way of the counter.

It might work. This does adhere very well. I had seams near a sink with a previous granite style (that I didn't like as well as the white marble), and they stayed sealed despite often being wet. I would try to put the seams where the shower spray wouldn't hit it directly....perhaps run the material vertically rather than horizontally.

The sink has no undercoating but does have pads. We have purchased one for one house and came back and purchased for another house. Best is the clean design lines and the fact that there is no "hump" for a drop in mount. Agree that the only drawback are the corners to clean.
