Hi,

I recently installed a new vanity in my bathroom, and have managed to get all but one drain connection leak-free. A small bead of water appears just below the locknut that connects the tailpiece to the sink itself. There are no leaks at the rubber washer--just below the locknut. It's not a dramatic leak. . .the water never even drips down to the vanity bottom.

What would cause this? How can I repair it?

Thanks!

Sylvan

Lamp wick NOT Quick wick stops these leaks and if you cannot locate Lamp wick try Teflon tape around the rubber three or four turns should do it.
