I am replacing the gasket to the drain as it is too high and traps water. Plumber putty or silcon?

Plumber putty!
Plumbers putty...
Plumbers putty is made to be able to take things apart at some future date, silicone not so much. I recall having to deal with things on my job that were put together with silicone, almost destroying the parts before getting them apart.
Putty
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Any particular kind? Don

It should be noted that silicon would be horrible for sealing anything.

There are applications for silicon in wet situations but not for a drain.

I'm not sure that's the silicon usage he was referring to Randy.......
Well, which one, then? In its most common forms it can be used in industrial construction with clays, silica sand, and stone. Silicates are used in Portland cement for mortar and stucco, and mixed with silica sand and gravel to make concrete for walkways, foundations, and roads. They are also used in whiteware ceramics such as porcelain, and in traditional silicate-based soda-lime glass and many other specialty glasses. Silicon compounds such as silicon carbide are used as abrasives and components of high-strength ceramics. And the pure stuff is used in the semiconductor industry.
