   I'd probably use silicone. Or I'd inquire about plumbers putty.

   Since you just installed it, it's a bit late. Best to set the sink in the caulk, then clean the excess.

   Smelly cone will do the job. Most sinks actually come with a smallish squeeze tube colour-matched.
   If you have to buy it, might as well use clear for your combination. run blue painter's mask around on the counter first, then cut a tiny tip off the silicone tube and knock yourself out, tool it down and then carefully peel the tape.

   to clean a little bit off here and there, white vinegaar on a rag.

   I did put a bead of white silicone caulk on the underside lip of the sink - a little squeezed out when I put weight on the sink to set it. I like the idea of the painter's tape since I am not a caulk 'artist'. Thanks, Mike

   Yeah, normally a self-rimming sink is installed with a bead of silicone caulk under the rim, before installation. Even with it installed you might be able to prop the sink up slightly and squirt the caulk under the rim.
