I recently had some new tile and backer board installed. Yesterday, me and my brother in law tried to set the toilet. When it went down, it didn’t feel like the wax ring compressed much, so he suggested doubling up wax rings.
We did that but in the process of trying to line up the bolts, he lifted it and the water in the tank went all over the floor.... We had to lift it a few times to get fingers under there to line the bolts up, so I’m sure the wax was pretty screwed up by the time we got it set.
It was all installed and it looked like a little water was seeping out from under the toilet. I wasn’t sure if it was residual from when the bowl got tipped, or if it was leaking, so I took it back up.
Long story sorry. So I bought two more rings, and a thin plastic adapter for the flange. Should I just double up the wax rings, or try the adapter with one ring? The current flange is flush with the floor and I’ve got an extra thick ring and a standard one.
