Hello
Problems with my first toilet install.
Put in new tile floor which is very thick- 1/4 mortar with 3/8 tile. I installed the premium Oatey red ring flange extension to start and get me to about floor level
Installed a new Kohler skirted toilet , Persuade no. K-6355
Instructions said to use plain wax Only with no plastic cone- this does not leave many options for the seal.
The normal small ring did not smush much at all so I made an addendum taking a second small plain wax ring and heat welding it together. I did not want to use a tall one with cone or silicon ring due to the Kohler guidelines.
Worked fine no leaks for 3 months until today I just had a small puddle come out from under the bowl
My next best plan is that I bought an XL ring and I can cut out the inner plastic cone
This must be better than my previous combine 2 small rings together
Second I can break Kohler's rule and use a Danco Perfect Seal which is very tall and has a silicon extender if I need it
I have not been able to get the toilet to leak again after the first time.
Help what's my best line of action
Thank you
Pat
