Completely random question (bathtub related)
I have a completely random question (sorry if this is the wrong board to ask this on).
I have a very very old bathtub (the kind where the drain control/stopper is outside the bathtub. However, it's not working properly and the bath slowly drains which is irritating. Trying to take a epsom salt baths and constantly have to refill the tub. Anyone have annsiggestions on how to block the drain to prevent this? I know they sell drain blockers but it's a bit too late to go out and get one. Any ideas on a common household item that might work?

I tried a towel but it seemed to actually drain faster or float away from the drain0

Ah snap, hmmmm. Maybe on the exterior try zip loc plastic wrapped with duct tape and a hair tie!!0

Not sure we have any. Will look though.0 -
A towel won't work by itself. The water will just drain through it.
Your only bet is to go get a rubber stopper when you can.0 -
You can take foil, then wrap the foil ball in plastic wrap and shove it in there, not sure if it works for tubs, but it works for sink drains0
