AWESOME Sink

 Polymer Resin can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 12 points.

Tips

If your intent with Polymer Resin is to only sink it to the AWESOME Sink, you can consider turning it into Fabric using the "Polyester Fabric" alternate recipe and then sinking. Though it adds a Water Extractor and a Refinery, it nets 140 points per item compared to 12 per item with Polymer Resin.
