I have a patio fountain that came with a large rubber stopper(2.5 dia x 1.25 thick) and a short roll of green colored putty on a roll
The stopper is tapered, a hole in the center and a slit for setting in the pump cord and light kit wire

What do the plumbers prefer The putty will easily peel out of the threads Use a wire bristled brush and clean it Plumber's putty has a petroleum base to it so if you left it in there for years, it would of definitely turned yellow over time
Why are you having to gain access to your cleanouts so often The gaskets go underneath the sink locknut Plumbers putty under the sink strainer and i prefer teflon paste ontop of the gasket +top threads under the sink Most others use putty or some no callback guys even use caulk.i've seen a new foam type gasket that replaces plumbers putting, but i highly doubt they will supply this in the strainer box as a ~kit~
