  The original is dead. But I do have another tub with another stopper in it (my apt is so luxurious), both tubs are now filled. I will be able to tell if they drained by the morning… hopefully.

  The plug already lasted an hour so it’s a win by my books already.

    What was the verdict then?

      It works but has a leak somewhere. Without seeing where that leak is, clear tube or seeing the underside, I’m just guessing but it’s so slow it doesn’t matter.

      Wider didn’t help as predicted in this thread.

      Good for a stopgap, not good if you need to hold water for over 8 hours
