Yes, you can reseal parts of a garbage disposal, but only specific connection points. You can successfully reseal the upper sink mounting flange by removing it, cleaning away old plumber's putty, and applying a fresh ring of putty beneath the flange. You can also replace worn-out rubber gaskets and slip-joint washers on the discharge drain pipe. However, if the disposal is leaking from the main plastic motor housing seams or bottom shaft, you cannot reseal it, as those internal components are permanently sealed at the factory. Verification: Test all resealed joints with running water to confirm they remain completely dry.
