I would recommend just living with it since it blends in so well. To redo it may damage your granite. My main concern would be on how they installed the sink. With supports as well as caulk I would hope. Your granite it very nice!!

thanks, mississippirose!

Yes, there are multiple braces/supports holding the sink up. My issues are thankfully just cosmetic.

I, personally, think it looks nice. It appears to be a very even and uniform seal. Because you have a lighter granite it isn't as noticeable as you would think. besides, you have posted your sink and faucet before and no one jumped in and said "gee, girl, WHAT were you thinking?" LOL.

I know as the designers, planners, etc that we all are we notice WAY more things in our kitchen than anyone else. I have to keep holding myself back from pointing out teeny, tiny errors and apologising for how they came out. Most people would never know if I didn't point it out.

Good Luck. I hope you get more comfortable letting it go and enjoying your new precious baby!

Mom2reese:

First of all - congrats on the new babykins... Second, way COOL faucet!

Third - your question:

Yes... you can remove the caulk - a razor blade and alot of patience will
be needed. HOWEVER - unless you get WAY back and scrape out ALL
of the coloured caulk - when you reapply the clear - the CLEAR will transfer
a small amount of the colour through - kind of like a shadow of the shade...

the only want to do it right - and this is going to be about as easy as getting
your gumbs scraped - is to remove the sink from the stone - you'd have to
"drop" the sink down from it's support system.... Then.......
scrape off all of the coloured silicone and apply a new bead of clear silicone
before you raise the sink back up into position and re-attach it to the supports
(clips or sink setting cradle - ie - undercounter mounter - sink setter, etc)
re-set the sink, and use the clear silicone to do the new seal - do NOT use
the silicone ONLY to attach the sink to the underside of the stone.......

ON THE OTHER HAND...... You COULD live with what's there now - to echo
everyone else's opinion - and I concur... it looks really good as it is.........

It's just how much does it bug YOU - as YOU'RE the one that's gotta LIVE WITH IT.....

Thanks for the opinions (and baby good wishes!)

While it would be nice if I didn't need outside reassurance about how good (or bad) something looks, it does matter to me; it's good to know that others don't think it looks so terrible.

Kevin - I'm a big believer of if I'm going to fix something, I should fix it "right". Now knowing how much work it's going to be do fix it properly, the cream caulk looks better and better ;-) Thanks for the info!

I swear to the kitchen gods, that caulk line never ever caught my eye before. :)

Sorry to be off topic - did you need to get a 2 inch hole drilled for that Karbon faucet? I'm dying to switch my faucet for the Karbon, but I don't have a hair of room available to make the hole any bigger than the 1 3/8 standard.

helou - unfortunately, it does require a 2" hole for the valve. I remember this specifically because my fabricator didn't have a big enough thingamajig to cut the hole and had to come back.

Even after reading your post, it took me a few seconds to see what you were talking about in the picture. It is very subtle.

Bummer. Thanks, Mom.
