Does anyone know if GS Plastics, Elkhart Indiana is still in business?
Their phone number refers me to ANOTHER number that’s not in service, 574-262-9250. Google isn’t much help either.

Plan B:
Any recommendations on a good epoxy that can seal an inch long hairline crack that found ME, yesterday?
Thanx in advance for any comments.

I like a super glue called Hot Stuff for this type of repair. It comes in two typers, the regular and gap filler. For a hairline crack the rugular should work. I would apply it from the outside if possible. Good luck.

You might try drill a small hole at each end of the crack then using superglue or epoxy along the crack. After that you could seal the underside with (darn I forget the name of the adhesive tape that never releases). I did this with a crack in my shower floor 4 years ago. After 4 years of fulltiming it is still not leaking.
I have also replaced the kitchen sink (I didn't like the stock model) with a replacement purchased at Home Depot. The replacement is simple and I replaced the faucet at the same time.

I purchased a couple of sinks off EBay that were made by the company you listed. Might be easier to buy a new one than repair old. Watch shipping cost on the listings.

Why not replace it with something nice. Get rid of that cheap plastic.

Replaced ours with a ceramic one from Home Depot with 4" hole spacing for about $38. Much heavier than the plastic original but looks and cleans so much better!
