Silicone sealing tape for sink

I had the same problem back then.

I cut it off with a sharp utility knife. However, VERY CAREFULLY and without pressing hard so you don't scratch the countertop. With the new sink, I deliberately left out this sealing tape and used silicone right away. :D

After the move, we also used clear silicone
