Superior Grade, 14 Ounce, Tan Oatey 25101 Sta Put 14-Ounce Plumbers Putty, Color. But I could get to it I suppose if I do this whole open up the wall. I use plumbing a lot and always buy small. Plus getting to the drain in the foundation was a bear. My review on this product is the second Ive seen with the issue of the product arriving wilted and totally unusable. I'm assuming I should fix this as the rule about ABS and even the stain free putty?Īnd to go even further, I now see why I should have modified the tub drain to be a glue joint PVC but didn't realize that at the time. My main question, is it possible for the plumber's putty to have already damaged the threads/ABS and should I get replacement parts? Or can I just clean off the putty thoroughly and reassemble with a silicone caulk? ![]() (see pic) I now realize I should've used a silicone product.Īnyway, it's now been a year and I can actually get at the tub drain with a cut in the sheetrock from the room on the other side, luckily hidden by entertainment console.

Anyway I used the Stain-Free Oatey plumber's putty on three threads, one the tailpiece and then the overflow slip joint and drain slip joint. Don't know why I thought it wasn't as it was black. I now realize that the drain assembly was ABS. I was in a hurry as we were trying to get walls closed up in the baths.
