    There are 2 gaskets: One is black rubber and the other is paper (friction) gasket. They both go under the sink. Black rubber gasket goes against the sink and the paper gasket goes bet. Black gasket and nut.

    You put Plumber's Putty on the flange between sink and flange. As you tighten up the strainers, Putty will squeeze out. Remove is when you are done.
