Any chance
your drain cleaner is not getting to the clog?

I'm 90% certain it is...'cuz the sink IS draining, but just barely. I
put nearly a quart of the sulphuric acid stuff down it--twice...which
should have been enough to send at least some of it all the way through
the trap and to wherever the clog is.

I've had great success pressurising the pipes with the "blow" side of a

Interesting you should suggest that. I don't have a shop vac...but it
occured to me that a solution of vinegar and baking soda down the drain
might blow whatever is blocking it loose if I also plug the sink. It
produces enough effervescence to blow out a hose connection on a boat if
you're not careful. I don't THINK there's any danger of that happening in
the house, but I'm not sure what else might!
