Small crack in acrylic kitchen sink
Hi all,
This past weekend, when moving our trailer to a new storage facility, I noticed that there is a small three legged crack (kinda a Y shape) in the front corner of the small basin side of our acrylic kitchen sink. It goes all the way through the sink material, so will be a leak if not repaired. I'm not sure if it was a crack due to cold weather over the winter, or if we damaged it somehow.
This photo appears to shows the type of sink we have:

A few questions on how to proceed:
1) Am I correct in assuming it would be a waste of my time to try to get a warranty repair on something like this, given it's likely it was caused by something we did when using the sink, or during travel (we keep the sink strainers and soap dispenser in the sink, maybe a poor idea).
2) Is there any type of waterproof tape (Eternabond maybe?) that we could apply to both sides of the sink over the crack to repair the sink for the time being?
3) Is there a typical RV (read lightweight) sink that would be an upgrade from the very thin one the trailer came with that we could install at the end of the season?
Thanks for the help!
