DIY & Home Improvement

Let me start over. The sink has a drain hole. Into that hole one places a plastic tube where the plug goes. Parts list calls this piece the 'waste seat'. I was instructed to put silicone around the metal ring at the top of this seat, which I did so I now have silicone. Now just underneath the metal ring are 3 holes that I can feel are not flush up against the drain hole of the sink. These holes are bigger around than my finger. Just running water is not a problem as it goes straight down the center. But if I were to put water in the sink, then pull the plug, some water is going to go down behind the seat and there is no way for that water to get out. So I've been looking for some sort of tubing to put in there to keep water from entering those holes. That's when I discovered the turkey baster idea.

Thank you for your time with this. I really do appreciate it. This DIY project has been a real adventure for this old lady, I can assure you.
