Do dodgy plumbers make kitchen sink pipes glued together so you have to call them and pay them more money? Sus. I'm renting but just wanted to fix it myself so no one has to intrude in my space :(

Has it got that blue shit on it? They do it to stop leaks. You can buy a special little tool from bunnings for under $20. It's a plastic thing that unlocks stuck pipes.

Yeah its got that blue stuff. One side is threaded though and the other side isn't. I bought a metal snake but it did nothing at all. Maybe there's a drainage problem at the other end rather than at my sink?
