When i removed toilet to replace wax ring i found a crack in the flange that the toilet bolts go thru. The crack is between the bolt slot and just where the flange meets the waste pipe. If that piece is welded, then that weld is what failed. I believe it probably happened from not tending to a rocking toilet fast enough causing undo stress. The wax ring i use has a plastic flange. Both wax and flange appear to seal opening before crack. I was just wondering if: 1) There are no leaks and i can tighten down the toilet, do i consider myself lucky that a missed a biger bullit? 2) Is soldering (welding) a consideration? 3) Did i not miss that bullit and is my best course of action a new waste pipe?
Thanks for any thoughts on this matter.
