Swapping Out Your Worn-out Toilet For New And Improved Model!
What happens here
Due to a potentially high flange or to ensure a more robust seal, the presenter opts for a 'double wax' installation. Place the first standard wax ring directly onto the toilet flange, molding it into place to cover the entire flange. Then, gently mold a second, thinner wax ring (without a reinforcement gasket if possible, as the presenter prefers 'straight wax') on top of the first, pressing and twisting it to combine them. This creates a thicker, more reliable seal.
Goal: Create a robust, double wax seal on the toilet flange to prevent leaks.
