I installed a new toilet this past weekend on a tile floor and used a new Ace Hardware brand wax ring with a collar. Now the inside toilet bowl smells like mothballs when I lift the cover. It is not 'vent' odor which smells different, and the floor is not wet when I flush the toilet so I believe I have a good seal. I think the smell is coming from the substance that the wax is made of because I stored the ring inside a closet for about 6 hours before installation and when I opened the door, I smelled the same strong 'mothball' odor coming from the ring. Has anyone ever noticed a similar mothball odor coming from the wax substance, and more important, will the mothball smell coming up from the bowl eventually go away?
