plumber's putty

Sink joint filler

Plumber's putty is a soft, pliable sealing compound used to create watertight seals around drains, faucets, and other plumbing fixtures.

Unlike caulk, it remains soft and can be easily removed and repositioned.

It seals against water but isn't adhesive: Roll the putty into a rope and press it under the drain flange.
