I've just remodeled my bathroom and purchased the Kohler Cimmaron. I set it in place last night for a 'dry-run' and it rocks side to side just a bit. I had previously set a toilet in my basement (on ceramic tile) and used the plastic shims to resolve this problem, then caulked around the toilet where it met the floor. Here are my questions:
1- Do I want to caulk around the toilet base when the install is on a hardwood floor? I'm guessing not...but maybe a clear caulk or something?
2- If I shim and don't caulk, my fear is that the shims will eventually work their way loose w/ no caulk to kind of 'seal' them in place. Any alternative other than shims (that lock on the bottom rim of the toilet) or should the shims stay in place after tightening toilet to flange?
Thanks - Jeff
