What about foam spray-on insulation sold at any hardware store and commonly
used to fill gaps in window and door installations? Should work, sticks to
just about any surface and is easy to deal with and has great
sound-deadening characteristics. If you spray it slow enough and in a couple
of thinner layers with drying time in between, you can even spray it on from
underneath without having to remove the sink, although it would be easier
and faster to do so.
