Keeping sink dry

[nsurit]

I have a sink with a couple of archival washer and when they drain water collects under the bottom. Anyone have any nifty ideas about how to avoid the wet base in the sink? Bill Barber

Try some plastic washers under the washer. They lift it off the sink and are waterproof as well as cheap. I have them under my old Zone VI washer and they work fine.

How about one of these Sink Protector Mats? http://www.amazon.ca/InterDesign-Bl...83807&sr=8-2&keywords=kitchen+sink+protectors

Mine are raised and leveled with pieces of high density foam cut from interlocking "walk mats". I use restaurant style drain mats to elevate trays in my (pitched) processing sink (visible here), for the same reasons.

Low teck is old j-cloths worn out from kitchen sink. They are great at wicking water out of spaces.

Maybe a hydrophobic treatment would work.
