A plumber that i know uses a wax toilet ring to waterproof his boots.
Toilet wax ring to waterproof boots.
Carefully lift the toilet while keeping the base parallel to the floor.
Product title danco 10718x perfect seal toilet wax ring 10 pack.
Once you re ready to install the new wax ring you can do it in one of two ways.
At the time i just thought that waterproof boots were probably very important to a plumber.
Set the toilet on the blocks.
However the newer ones do not work for this purpose as they are made of some other material.
The strength of the wax also resists bacteria and mold and helps the model retain its sealing ability even after years of usage.
The toilet wax ring can be warmed up and worked into leather boots gloves and hats to waterproof them.
Either position it on the toilet flange or fit it on the boot base of the toilet.
Then set the toilet carefully back in place.
To get a good seal with the new wax ring gently rock the toilet back and forth while pressing down until it s snug and flat on the floor.
To apply simply wipe the boots clean and set them and the wax in a warm place near a heating vent in the sunshine or near a woodburning stove.
Don t get them hot just nice and warm to the touch.
When i got started making my own bow strings a lot of people said they used to melt these rings down with some other stuff and use that o wax their strings.
While we are on the subject of toilet wax rings it s worth mentioning that they are great to have on a boat.
Choose a corner of the bathroom away from the drain to give yourself room to work.
Then using your fingers or a small cloth rub the wax into the leather.
Check the drain to make sure the old wax ring isn t still attached.
One of the most important components to look out for when purchasing toilet wax ring is the wax strength.
A word of caution.
They even stick underwater like a degenerate redneck flex tape.
The strength of the wax helps make the wax ring foolproof.
But later i was in a home improvement store and found that a wax toilet ring cost less than 2 dollars.
The wax was soft it reminded me of sno seal.
You can stomp one down over a hole in the hull or the transom and limp back home where the wax is easy to remove before a weld.
The composition of most of toilet rings has changed over the years.
