I don't know what equipment you have on yours (washers etc) but I have mine very tight (can't turn it any more by hand) and it's all gravy

Ya i did the same thing but the washers that come with the sink were to tall. That raised the aluminum bolt/post thing up so that the sink botoms out on the post. It felt tight and i turned the screws all the way down till they stopped.

look at the picture to see what im talking about.

Ohhh I see... I bought mine used so probably don't have all the washers, and no documentation.
I just put the metal screws through the board with no washer underneath

I didnt wana do that, i wanted to crank the bolts down tight. The screws that go into the bolts thread in kinda tight some times and if i ever need to take the sink off it unscrews the nut from the bottom of the board and then i gotta take the whole board out to fix it. I found some metal nuts that fit the bolts so its good now it should never come loose again. I used some red fabric washers this time, or graphite some red washers i got from a different case i used on the bottom.
