If you live anywhere close to a marine supply house, they can probably recommend the best stuff. I have a stainless sink, but I needed to make it bigger. I built a wooden frame around it and used the West System marine epoxy to seal it up. I'm not sure if West's is nationally available, but it's easy to mix and use, and it work. Mark Rabiner has a huge sink that's a modern marvel. (Next time it looks like it might rain 40 days and 40 nights I'm going to Mark's house to ride out the storm in his darkroom sink, which I certain would float as well as it holds water.) He used West's Epoxy and I followed his recommendation. I think most darkroom users would agree that you can never had a sink that's too big. Especially if you shoot Leica and modern films, where 20X enlargements (and beyond) are a possibility. Dave
