Posted: 04 Jan 2007 at 1:51am
We recently had Granite installed in out bathroom and discovered after awhile that it is unsealed, as water is soaking in and is taking some time to dry.
I dident consider the problems (at that time) that this might cause down the road, but, our plumber installed the new Faucets with "Plumbers Putty" (he is old school)and things began to go awry...
First i noticed the wetness (that would not go away) and thought that we had a leak, We had the plumber back and checked to make sure this was not the case, I also had him remove the putty,and it has eventually dried up (three weeks!). Now i notice there is discolouration around the Faucets, sort of dark yellowing...
I believe the Oil in the Putty has has discoloured it, and i would like to check with you guys to see what "Poltice" i could use to clean it. I believe it to be "Oily" but just wanted to make sure, before i try to clean it.
Any help would be greatful, thank you, Justin ]]
