Stained Area at New Granite Seam: Need Advice
My daughter just called for advice on a new granite counter install seam at her sink. She wanted to know if the darkened area would go away. My seam did not have this daekened area when installed so I do not know what to tell her. Did anyone have thus kind of darkened area after a new install?
She also vented about the kitchen installer thinking she is unreasonable for insisting on hidden support brackets for the 12” overhang on her 2cm granite island. I advised that she needed them; he says none are needed. For an 81“ long island I said at least 3; she wanted 4: he finally agreed, but she only saw two at the job site tonight....island will be done on Monday. I do not think two brackets are adequate. Any advice?

At a minimum, your sink should have supports between the bowls to stiffen the steel on the flat in the middle. This picture was taken with the sink lying upside down. The stiffener was installed by the sink manufacturer.
Often times fabricators will clip the corners of the sink only. This leaves the center of the sink unsupported and the sink will leak, especially without stiffeners.A leaking sink may result in a catastrophic reinforcement rod failure.
