The plumber cannot stop a sink drain flange from leaking at the brass nut despite repeatedly reapplying plumber's putty and silicone.

Existing solutions (plumber's putty, silicone) are unreliable for sealing drain flange to sink, causing repeat work and frustration. No clear method or diagnostic tool ensures a leak-free seal on the first try.
