Hello Folks,
Since I am not so fond of shims being the only pieces to hold a heavy toilet in place (a really heavy Yorkville is coming) I searched everywhere and found an instruction to shim, lay down expoxy mortar, place wax paper over it, set the toilet, cut around the toilet and clean up. Here it is:

What does the professional community here think about that?
Background: I am replacing a wall hung with a rear discharge. The floor must have been tiled with the toilet in and they obviously couldn't reach the back tiles well. So they are all ramping up, big time, by at least 1/3". Now the choice is: Float that mud bed like described above or rip it all out and re-tile. At any rate I want to make sure that the toilet can be taken out in case of a hard plug without destroying it. These things cost a whopping $500 plus tax.
Regards, Joerg.
