🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A universal silicone-based sleeve insert that fits inside various finial sizes to create a friction-fit grip.
  2. A specialized thread-repair putty kit designed specifically for small-diameter metal curtain rod hardware.
  3. A magnetic adapter kit that replaces the stripped screw mechanism with a strong neodymium magnet connection.
