If you mean something like GE Silicone Rubber that should work.  You
need something that will adhere firmly to the tray.

However, kitty litter basins are a bit flimsy and have a tendency to
bend or twist when you lift them up causing the liquid to spill out.  My
suggestion would be to go to a restaurant supply store.  They make grey
plastic basins for breaking down tables that are very heavy and do have
deep ridges on the bottom.  I routinely use one for washing.  If you
have a Sam's Club store nearby they sell two for about $9.00.  They are
designed for rough treatment and are quite sturdy.

Good timing Jerry, as I was about to ask a very similar question. =3D20

I'm "moving up" to 11x14 FB prints (max size for my tiny d.r.) and =3D
purchased 4 Patterson trays for standard processing.  However, for =3D
washing and multiple toning chemicals I'm moving toward kitty litter =3D
basins (conveniently 15.5 x 18 x 6).  My concern is the flat bottom - =
=3D
prints sticking as well as not receiving fresh chemicals on the paper =

surface.  I was thinking that a few lines of Silicon Caulk laid on the =
=3D
bottom of each would correct this.  Are there any concerns I should be =
=3D
aware of by going this route?  Thanks =3D20

A problem with food trays is that they don't have any ridges on the
bottom.  Prints tend to stick and there is no way of getting tongs under
them.
