Twice now, I have developed a leak around the replaced drain basket in my s/s kitchen sink. I install it as I have seen on a youtube video and use plumbers putty as shown there. All is well for a while, however after a while the seal starts to leak. I suspect that I may be over-tightening the lock nut and squeezing out too much of the putty. Could this be my problem? What is a guideline for the proper of tightening of this nut?
