The caulking between our porcelain sink and Formica counter top had become stained, so I removed it, cleaned things up, and applied new caulking.
It looked great, but four hours later, it was all stained again. Apparently the rust or corrosion from the sink soaks through, and, as you can see, it looks really bad.
What tips do you have for fixing this? My current thinking is to remove the old stuff, spend a lot of time scraping and cleaning under the lip of the sink, then paint on some kind of sealant or anti-rust paint, then add new caulking.
Another thought is to find brown caulking -- seriously.
