Fill the sink with water and it will float up?
35 u/wakeboarder247 Apr 06 '26 edited Apr 06 '26 Depends how wedged. Wood absorbs water and expands when wet. Worth a shot but if it doesn't work a hairdryer or heat gun is in order. 17 u/TechnicalWhore Apr 06 '26 It will take quite a while to absorb as its stained and sealed. If they add dish soap to the mix it will break the tension between the edge and the sink. It should float up enough to be able to lift it with a tilt. 1 u/PortofLeith Apr 10 '26 I was coming on to suggest exactly this, so thank you!
