Yeah, mesh definitely helps, but honestly even with mesh, DIY fixes can be hit or miss. Did mine last year—followed all the steps—and it's already showing tiny hairline cracks again. Sometimes pro repair is just worth the peace of mind...

Yeah, gotta agree with you there. DIY kits can be great for quick fixes, but sinks take a beating daily—water, temperature changes, accidental drops (guilty here...). Sometimes it's better to bite the bullet and let the pros handle it.
Totally get where you're coming from. When I first moved into my place, I tried patching up a cracked bathroom sink myself. Looked decent at first, but within a few months the crack started showing again—probably due to temp changes or something. Ended up calling a pro anyway, and honestly, it was worth not having to worry about it every day. Sometimes peace of mind really is priceless...

Haha, been there myself. Tried the DIY epoxy route on my kitchen sink once—felt like a hero for about two weeks until the crack reappeared like some stubborn horror movie villain. Turns out sinks flex more than you'd think, especially with hot and cold water cycling through. Eventually bit the bullet and got a pro fix. Lesson learned: sometimes shortcuts just lead to longer detours...
Yeah, epoxy can be tricky—seen plenty of sinks where the crack returns because the underlying stress wasn't addressed. Had a customer once who kept patching it up, but turns out the countertop wasn't level, causing constant flexing. Did you check if yours is properly supported underneath?
