I’ve got a hole in my shop sink. What’s the best method to repair it. I don’t care about cosmetics.

Google doesn’t seem to have any ready answers. my immediate guess though, would be to fill the hole with a two-part epoxy.

They sell a two-part “porcelain” (it’s not) filler to fill gouges. Maybe braze on a backer plate of steel and then fill with that stuff.

I’ve seen the porcelain fix. Will probably try that, with a backing as suggested here. Will report back.

How big is the hole? Are we talking a little pin prick? Or are we talking something you can fit your fist inside?

Good question. In between Silver dollar size, or $1.50 size. :-). Jagged edges. I’ve seen that tape on TV that repairs boats, exceptive never believed it.

So, like…a Rhesus monkey’s fist?

I’d have to see the monkey first.

I’ve always been a fan of multiple, redundant methods for leak fixing. Use the flex tape on the bottom to hold in the epoxy, then use the scratch filler on top of the epoxy to blend it in with the rest of the sink

I’ve used automotive Bondo to seal the drain and overflow in a cast iron tub (which was being converted to a frog pond). Worked fine.
