Hi Our kitchen sink had a black mat stuck to it's underside. It has fallen off. Does anyone know the purpose of this mat? Is it for sound deadening (as water flow into sink from taps) heat retention for hot water. If it has to be stuck on what's the best adhesive?

I think it's to help stop the metal flexing .I would imagine silicone would do to restick it .

It's for sound deadening.
Evostik will stick it - the proper solvent one, not the toy mimsy version.
Never, the stiffness of metal is higher than that of the black pad. It's for sound deadening to make a cheap thin metal sink sound more expensive!
stiffening and soundproofing. evostik.
