Pull and Turn Style Tub Drain Not Working...Solved a Big Manufacturing Flaw!

What happens here

This project details how to fix a common issue with 'lift and turn' style tub stoppers that spin endlessly or fail to seal properly due to a design flaw. The solution involves adding plastic washers to fill the unthreaded gap in the stopper's mechanism, providing a secure fit without needing to replace the entire unit. This DIY repair is inexpensive and improves the functionality of the existing stopper.
