Shitty install. No clips, for starters. Without clips you at least have to send some screws up through the plywood to pinch the sink up tight against the granite.
This sink WILL pull away from the granite once a decent garbage disposal unit gets used with any frequency.
You need to rabbet out the sink edge out of the plywood/mdf substrate so it sits flush before placing the sink in in, then apply silicone to lip of sink then place granite on top I use 2 small beads, one on the outside edge and one a lil closer to the granite edge, 2 beads are better than one, if any oozes out, just use a rag with acetone.
Not sure that i like this method. They sandwich the sink between the plywood bench top and the Granite! Dosn't that mean the granite sits above the plywood the thickness of the lip all over?????
Not only that but the sink is stuck and it will not be easy to remove in the future if it needs replacing. Also look at the mess they made of the back wall of the sink cabinet. Very amateurish job IMO.
@dstacey102 Yeah center bands really makes the sink look nice. As for Blue Pearl, I am pretty sure it is Verde Butterfly of Verde Venziano., I see gold in this stone, Blue Pearl has blueish silver mica in it. maybe it is just my monitor resolution. In an event center bands are really nice. Here are some of my jobs my company has done and if you click on sinks you will see some nice center-bands. All the granite counters on my site are all donr by hand not C&C. CONT>
@dstacey102 Click on sinks and look at the photos of the Seafoam Green, there you will see a pretty nice center band in the mid of the sink. Here is the URL just put the characters back together and into your browser:
hey beeb1421,you shit, we've been in the granite industry since 1635,dont tell me about "fellow" contractors, these know nothing shits, getting in the industry,and driving the prices down has hurt all of the true shops, don't preach to me jackass, good job, whats good about this video?good job,your probally the parent that wants ALL the kids to get trophy's even if the did'nt win
They can't spell or install counter tops (cneter=center, whole=hole) this is a good example of all the contractors who have ripped me off and why I am learning to do it myself!
Hey I with jabcrossuppercut hire a pro. Do your job get paid then pay the person that does it for a living. Unless you live in a place that has no tile or stone masons. If you do this your self remember to be careful when moving the slab since you have cut out 90% of its strength.
This has got to be in california... Out there they all use 2cm and everything is laminated... When i moved to the midwest and started doing granite out here i noticed everything is 3cm... So i don't mount sicks like this anymore... Everything is T-bolted... easy as hell and saves shitons of time!
These guys are so sweet to post this video to help other people! Shame on anyone for making fun of them.

These guy might be immigrants who can't spell good. but at least they got work .
Which is more than i can say for most of the unemployed pussies on here who got nothing good to say to fellow contractors.
good job guys and congrats on having WORK!

oh no, not silicon clucking!! i think that's the wrong stuff, as it makes "clucking" sounds like a chicken.

Did they just drop the sink in without any silicone underneath it or on top before they laid the granite down?

Don't try this just because you want to be a cheapskate to save a buck. Just hire a professional.

I don't advise doing it this way. This is exactly how I first installed my undermount and here are the problems:
1. water can accumulate on the plywood. a little leak on the silicone can cause that.
2. if you do it this way, put the silicone on the sink before you put the granite on top.
3. the weight of the sink is on the plywood. you should instead use clamps attached to the granite.
these are all based on my experience.

yes,wasted lot of time.actually needed details on mounting.

This video spends too much time showing the hole being cut and no time showing how the sink is actually mounted to the sub-top.
