Music is way too loud
I used Oakey pvc cement on the drain…it was new, so I didn't have to use the purple cleaner. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Sterling warns against Plumbers putty anyway!
Why is it so hard to squeeze the screw rubber gasket over the 2"pvc coming out of the floor? Why is it so tight? The one in the video just, "Pops In"! What would help to get that to seat in the base? Petro-oil, water? I'm sure this is a common problem.

Throw the plastic drain away. Buy a brass drain. Your Welcome
I watched a guy put silicone caulk around the drain instead of plumbers putty…is this a mistake?
