As long as the inside finish or porcelain is in good shape a minor repair may last your lifetime. There is very little pressure there lass than 1/2 a pound and probably less than that. | |

| Aug 28, 2019 at 16:23 | comment | added | isherwood | I don't think I'd try to repair that seal from the outside. I'd look at pulling that channel off, cleaning away the old adhesive, and re-bonding it. I'd use something stronger than silicone. Urethane might work. | |
