Repairing a Hole in the Laminate Countertop?

Repairing a Hole in the Laminate Countertop - hole cut too large for the sinkI've had this sink for a while like this. The hole was cut too large for the sink. I've been covering the hole with a plastic mat, which might be the only solution, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do to fill in this? I hate the possibility of water getting in there.

I would suggest getting some small strips of wood and nailing them in place. Then get some wood filler and fill in the gaps between the slits of wood and then add some cocking around the sink to seal the sink in and protect water from going under the sink area. This won't take too long to do and you can even glue in the thin wood slats to make it easier for you. Wood glue is excellent to use and it is also waterproof.

If I had this, I would attach a slice of wood and attach it with wood putty. Then paint it over with latex paint.

You could also try silicone or plaster.

I'm sure you would like this space repaired/water proofed but you still want it to look nice. Maybe take another looking directly over the spot.
I would suggest you take your picture to either Ace Hardware or True Value Hardware store and ask them how to best fix it properly as they have everything you will need to do this repair and they will usually always explain how to use the products to best do the job.
