Cuz it looks like a tailpiece gasket. And experience.

Man, I wish I had experience. I could have saved myself a couple of hours and a lot of cursing. Also, I found a picture of what I did. I think it's legit: https://images.app.goo.gl/peq6BDiYcHQEXa6f8 .

You'll get there. Just keep working on stuff. I learned a lot through trial and error when I was younger.

I'm recording everything before disassembly in the future.

Always a good idea. I always snap a few pics when working on something new.

I couldn't see your white gasket very well. but yes, what I would expect on the bottom of that tail piece is the one in the picture, the beveled gasket. In the it video looks kind of like it's flat but if it fits and it seals, that's all that matters. These things are not under much pressure.

Yeah, mine is flat, not beveled. I guess I just meant that the arrangement of components in that picture reminded me of my solution - my gasket/washer is shaped differently, though, you're right.

That's why I didn't even think to slide it over the neck. Even when I tried it I was worried it would tear. But, the material is pretty strong (I had to remove and attach it a couple of times because of wrong order of events) and it really snugs in tight. So, even though it's flat and thin I think it's the ticket.

Oh yeah. That's definitely the same piece.
