I just tried installing the Perfect Seal Toilet Wax Ring. The back of the toilet has a slight rock or wobble from side to side.
I've already taken out the black plastic insert and because the flange is above the floor, I'm not using the blue adapter. I've already sat on it and tried putting weight into to compress it more. I've tried gently rocking the toilet. The toilet did sit flush with the old wax ring so I don't think it is the tile floor.
(1) If I bolt it down, will that compress it the rest of the way?
(2) I know I could put down some shims down but for whatever reason, I'm less comfortable doing this. No idea why not other than I've not done it for any other toilet so no experience.
(3) Would a traditional wax ring solve the problem I'm having and be the smarter way to go?
As always, thanks for the advice.
