After tiling my floor the flange ended up approximately 1/8 - 3/16 below the surface of the finished floor. Not terribly too low but I assume anything other than sitting on the finished floor (or about 3/16-1/4 above the floor) is no good.
I installed one of those palstic flange extenders as I was worried that doubling up the wax rings was a bad idea.
When I set the toilet down it now rocks significantly more than without the plastic extender on the flange. It's possible the flange might be warped a bit and/or the horn on the toilet isn't perfectly flat.
Should I pull it and remove the flange extender or put larger shims under the toilet? Also, I assume I can't reuse the wax once I pull it, right?
p.s. - it was my new Drake
