I don't care about catching hair or anything small. I just once had a gold crown pop out while flossing and I was lucky to grab it before it went to crown hell. Any strainer I've used has slowed down the drain to the point of being unusable. My bathroom sink drain is 1 & 1/2 inches diameter. These were the biggest holes I could find. (1/8") https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Strainer...A3S2MLOLNMQL54 And all kinds of people are complaining about the water draining being too slow with them. Eg.
I'm open to unorthodox solutions.
There really are no strainers for bathroom sinks since most use pop-up stoppers which prevent the use of a strainer. You could buy a strainer like you linked and put it in the sink upside down if there is room. Anything is going to slow the flow of water so there is a price to pay.
Luckily, sinks have a trap located immediately below them. If you loose something down the drain it's usually caught in the trap and not lost forever. Traps with slip couplings and hand tightened nuts are easy to remove for cleaning & retrieval of lost items. If you have a glued or threaded in place trap it might be worth converting to something easier to remove if you drop things down the sink often enough.
We have an Edgestar IB250SS ice maker. Can anyone tell me what the white part in the picture is called? It broke and water started spraying everywhere so I need to find a replacement part but I haven't had much luck and I don't know what the piece is called. Thanks!

Forum,
I own a 1954 era house. It's bathroom originally did not come with a shower just a bath. Some owner prior to me put in a shower, my guess is mid 60's.
I have 3 pictures of the tub area. The gray tile is PLASTIC TILE which is how I'm aging the installation of the shower fixtures.

Two pictures are trying to get closeup of the stuff glued to the wall above the tile. I have multiple tiles popping out. I've glued many back multiple times and at the moment can't afford a full renovation of the bathroom.

I've purchased this product [url=https://www.menards.com/main/paint/paneling-planking/paneling/4-x-8-frp-wall-panel/frpm090wtt4809c/p-1444450799332-c-8168.htm?tid=248861768176680997&ipos=1&exp=true]Product @ Menards.com[/url] I'm not an expert at getting stuff done ... but am darned good at 2nd guessing ( guess what stage I'm at ) Now the product I bought I know isn't the same but the building center said that the product was the right one. The panels I bought feel like HARD PLASTIC where as the stuff on the wall looks more vinyl (ly) looking.
Now I also saw this [url=https://www.menards.com/main/paint/paneling-planking/paneling/nudo-reg-fiberlite-reg-textured-frp-wall-panel/texturedfrp-09almd4x8/p-1444449841782-c-8168.htm]Another wall covering at Menards.com[/url] which I thought looked closer to what is on my wall all ready, however, the description on the shelf did not say water proof.
Does anybody know and have links to a better product or the right product that more closely matches what I have on the wall... I understand that if it was done in the 60's that i'm 40 years from it and technology has or might have moved on.
As always thanks to those who stop and give their $0.02. If you have a different product a link to it would be greatly appreciated. I have in my area access to "DOITBEST.COM" HomeDepot Lowes and Menards a product from one of these would be even better.
