LOL, and a bottle of Jamesons?
That's beautiful. Thanks! I don't know what I'm going to do. My current sink is brushed metal like that one - no dents or anything, just wear and tear. I really just wanted to take off the disposal and plumb without it. The trap is already offset, I'd have to figure out how to connect the drain to the trap.
Meh. I'll try the WD40 and tapping gently and see what happens. Maybe I can do this myself - or wash dishes in the bathroom for a couple days.
