How a plumber caulks a toilet
What happens here
Carefully take the utility knife and run its sharp blade along the seam where the existing caulk meets the toilet and the floor. This scores the caulk and allows you to lift it in strips, making the removal process easier. The video shows the caulk, which was originally clear, has turned a 'funky yellow' due to urine and debris, highlighting the need for replacement.
Goal: Use a utility knife to score and lift the old, discolored caulk from around the toilet base.
