Default repair crack in washbasin temporarily?

Have cracked top skin of wash basin. Replacement basin will take some time to get. Any reccoes please for any liquid matter (glue/sealant?) that can be worked into the crack to make it reasonably watertight.

Thanks, Pedro

Quick curing Silicone should do it! After all - it holds aquarium tanks
together.

Sets rock hard, even under water.

Car body filler or epoxy. Ugly, but effective. Milliput works too and
can be got in white. Comsetically the nicest.
