My son put a large amount of rice through the garbage disposal, which turned to a mush that backed up the pipes. In one area in particular water was coming out where there was a joint. I removed the pipe and the trap and cleaned out the gunk and am now trying to put back together. The trap went on just fine, but the other joint is going to need a strong sealant to help it #1 stay together, and #2 maintain a waterproof seal. It is a pretty unusual pipe make-up, in that the connecting joint twists onto the adjactent pipe, but there is not threading.for it to twist around. After researching, I found out this is called a slip joint. The pipe and everything is in good condition, it is just not making a tight seal when I try and put it back together.....I need to seal it with something that it going to hold like gangbusters (preferably something I don't have to wear a gas mask to apply, as I have 2 kids in the house). Any suggestions???
