    Clawfoot tub, re-installing feet
    I have a claw tub and the feet came off. When I reinstall them and set the tub up under its own weight they come back off. I`ve tightened the screws as much as I possibly can. Is there any fix to this tub or process?

    You can back off the screws and install some metal shims/washers between tub and feet. Then retighten screws and should be all set here.

    You can pick up some different thickness washers at home depot or similar and try them out... return what you don't need... ;)

    Let me know if this made sense.. ok?
