I get that this is all fun and games but in truth you shouldn’t caulk a toilet. The wax ring is supposed to seal the toilet to the floor. If your caulking to hold water back then your just rotting your floor out.

Oh and paintable caulk is our trash for anything that’s not painted. It’s tacky and gathers dirt.

Just a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood contractor.

Keep yer turds in the pipes, not under the toilet stopped by a crappy caulk bead.

My first thought too,putting in a new wax ring ain,t that hard,but can be a little tricky,they,re cheap but plumbers ain,t.Think about it a bit and you can understand why!!!No harm meant to any one and enjoyed the vids.
