When I fixed my toilet to the wooden floor I didn’t put a bead of silicon around the edge as I don’t really like the look of it and prefer the clean lines. However I now realise the error of my ways as every time the toilet is cleaned of gets condensation the water get trapped under the toilet which has started to mark the wood.
So looking at ways to fix the toilet without the external bead of silicon.
The 2 ways I have thought of are
To lift the toilet slightly, squeeze some silicon underneath then lower the toilet down onto the wet silicon and clean off any excess that squeezes out. Would this approach work or would it mean that the toilet is now effectively glued to the wood and would be difficult/impossible to move if necessary?
The second way I thought off was to put a bead of silicon around the base of the toilet forming a sort of gasket. Wait for it to dry then secure the toilet to the floor. Since the silicon would not be “glued” to the floor would the water still be able to get underneath by capillary action?
Or is there a better more professional way to achieve this?
