I've only replaced two sink wastes in my life - one in an old sink I wanted to re-use, and one in a new. I found that in both cases, the hole in the bottom of the sink wasn't exactly round (with a gap to the left and right), which seems odd, since it's meant to take something that obviously is round. I know you can get foam rings, or fill the gap with silicone or something, but the gap in the new sink was what I'd call huge - much too big for a foam ring. So, I have to ask, am I supposed to be buying special wastes that match the sink? It just seems strange that they don't design it with a perfectly round hole in the first place.
