Having a problem with the countertop peeling loose around the sink? Here’s my permanent fix. I cut a plastic screen mold sold at Lowes in half down the center. Rounded the ends of the pieces to fit the curve, drilled and countersunk holes for brass #4 wood screws. Cleaned off all the old silicon caulk using a special removing spray also from Lowes. Applied new caulk which now does not show and cannot peel or fail since it’s all behind and under the molding. A major bonus is the rack still works as it sits inside the sink opening on top of the molding. In fact, now it’s almost level with the countertop.
