2. Ensure the basin is centered relative to the faucet hole and evenly spaced at the mounting points.
   
3. Confirm the basin overflow faces opposite the faucet.
   
4. Use a pencil to mark the aligned position.
   

1. Apply Silicone and Secure:
   
1. Remove the basin and apply a bead of silicone around its top edge.
2. Place the basin back within the marked area.
3. Firmly press down to seat the basin.
4. Add an extra bead of silicone along the basin’s outer edge for sealing.
5. Attach brackets using the existing mounting hardware and tighten the screws.
   

1. Cure and Final Assembly:
   
1. Wait 24 hours to allow the silicone to fully cure before continuing.
2. Apply silicone to the cabinet top and position the countertop securely in place.
3. Affix the backsplash with silicone to complete the installation.
