Default toilet mounting lag screws holes stripped in floors repair

hi all,

i have two lf-210 microphor toilets.

the one in my rear bath was scooting around the floor. so michael and i took it off saturday to see why. i expected the worse, but good news is the floor was great under the toilet. the toilet is held down with 4 lag screws through the floor and they were stripped out.

out comes the plast-aid. i filled the holes with it and sprayed wd40 on the lag screws and put them in the holes with the plast-aid. it totally cures in 15 minutes so after 5-10 minutes i back them out.

then i sprayed them again and put them back in the hole then i built up about 3/8's of an inch around each lag screw. there is granite on the floor and they had cut a 1" wide strip out of the granite from the front to the back of the toilet to make it easier to mount. so i basically built up the floor where the screw holes were to the height of the granite.

i have to say i am very impressed. it worked incredibly.

now i have a couple of dried out 0 rings on the vacuum breaker i need to replace and i should be good to go.

plast-aid rules.

tom

the rear bath is a side discharge toilet. easy to get on and off with the rubber seal with clamps.

today we took the mid bath toilet off to reseal it. it was harder to do. much less space and it was a down discharge toilet. the screws were stipped holding it down as well.

so, it is trickier to get off. it has a 8 inch or so piece of abs pipe glued to the bottom discharge that goes through the hole in the floor. it is connected to another pipe with the rubber hose and hose clamps.

that pipe goes about 18 inches to enter the top of the sewer tank. so i had to take it out and then when i reinstalled it i siliconed it back in.

it has alot of wax on the bottom to seal it but the sel was only to stop airflow from the wet bay coming into the bathroom since the poo goes down the abs pipe.

so 3 wax rings later it was resealed.

i also used the plast-aid the same way as before to fill the holes and build them up to make them stronger.

toilet back on and no leaks.
