I am a senior, and I am getting ready to install a new kitchen sink this weekend. How do I prep the PVC to ensure good tight (hopefully leakproof) connections? Also, any recommendations for the best caulk to use around the sink? Thanking you in advance.

Make sure you have a good wrench that you can use. We always use the water proof caulk on areas like that.
