"Seems like epoxy might hold up better long-term."
Yeah, epoxy does seem promising, but I wonder if it depends on how big or deep the crack is? I've seen some DIY kits work surprisingly well for minor chips, but deeper cracks... not so sure. My uncle patched his sink with epoxy a couple years back, and it's still holding strong. Maybe it's more about prep work and patience than the product itself? Either way, porcelain repairs always feel a bit like rolling the dice...
Epoxy can definitely be solid if done right, but you're spot-on about prep work being key. I've seen some DIY epoxy jobs hold up for years, others fail within months. Porcelain cracks can be tricky—sometimes it's worth biting the bullet and going pro just for peace of mind...
Had a similar issue with our porcelain sink a couple years back. Tried the DIY epoxy route first—did all the prep meticulously, sanding, cleaning, the whole nine yards. Looked great initially, but after about 8 months, hairline cracks started creeping back in. Ended up calling a pro anyway. Honestly, if I had to do it again, I'd skip straight to professional repair. Less hassle, and fewer chemicals wasted in the long run...
Interesting perspective, but honestly I've had decent luck with DIY epoxy kits. The key is applying multiple thin coats and letting each cure fully—rushing it never ends well. Mine's held up fine for over two years now...maybe just lucky?
