Can you repair your sink with epoxy resin?

That depends on what material and the extent of the damage. If you think it's possible to do then it's certainly worth a try. I would choose the epoxy very carefully, look for one that sets clear if visibility is a factor, and also adapts well to wet conditions. I recently tried one called 'Wet-Bond' which claimed these attributes, but it was a disappointment. I would pick one of the products from Loc-Tite or Devcon.

What is hot glue?

Hot glue is a solid, waxy plastic material that joins materials by both cohesion and absorption. It is typically heated in a "glue gun" before being applied. Glue temperatures are primarily in ranges around 250°F (120°C) and 380°F (193°C). When it cools, any glue that has seeped into porous materials creates a hard bond. On non-porous materials, the adhesion is similar to other surface bonding glues.

Hot glue does not shrink much as it bonds (compared to volatile glues), does not require lengthy curing, and is water resistant. Most hot glues are not resistant to heat or chemical action, but some have greater tolerances.

Hot glue is used for corrugated cardboard, and for foam products that cannot be exposed to solvent glues. It is also used for some electronics applications where higher temperatures cannot be applied, and will normally not occur during operation.
