Reply to comment by Wolf8392 in Massive clog of waste in the line has all drains in the house backing up, what should I do? by Caprine-Evisc

Not a professional plumber, but I have fixed many a toilet the same way. These days I recommend those waxless gaskets since they're just $10 compared to the five bucks for a wax gasket and if you accidentally set the toilet down wrong you don't need to get another wax ring

Yes those waxless gaskets are handy! Just make sure it doesn’t make your toilet sit too high off the ground or wax ring would be best. But I have been to many repairs where the toilet was set wrong and smashed the ring 🤦🏽‍♂️ so good point!
