Sink repair - silicone sealant at rim

For those of you who may face this job in the future I have one more comment on the sink repair and I will leave it alone.

I used PL Premium Polyurethane Construction Adhesive (Home Depot) to reattach the sink to the underside of the counter top. This seems to be an excellent product for the job. I never did receive the new epoxy adhesive from DRV - they sent the original elastic adhesive.

If you use the PL adhesive let it cure for several days before applying silicone sealant around the rim. I waited two days before doing this and I got some air bubbles coming into the bottom of the silicone bead. I presume this was from the adhesive still going through its curing process. I was able to smooth out the bubbles but it does not make for as nice a job. Trying to apply a nice even bead of sealant is not high on my skill set list in the first place but I had it looking pretty good. It was disappointing to have to 'play' with it after it began to set.
