Sink Repair, February 4, 2024 (8 Pics)
Broke the sink removing the old hardware. We are planning on redoing the bathroom next year or the year after, so I wasn't crazy about buying a new top. I tried out an epoxy fix & was pleasantly surprised. The final step I haven't done yet, but I would dremmel out a channel along the tops of the cracks and refill with color matched epoxy again. I may do that later, but the to-do list is a little out of hand these days.
