MAY be using them soon. At the Borg they had hard plastic and softer rubber
(soft like a door stop wedge). Flooring will be vinyl.

When is each appropriate?

I have seen plumbers use pennys on vinyl so I'd guess hard for vinyl.
Was there shims previously? I've never had a use for them myself.
The one toilet I had that rocked a little on tile I took a hand
grinder to the bottom of until it sat still.

Why not make your own from a partial tile? Use your HF angle grinder
to soften/shape the edges...

No shims before. Not needed. Toilet was in with LAG bolts. Well, not really
in. I took them out of the rotten subfloor with my fingers.

Not really sure if I will even need them. Just a thought that came up when
the shim possibility came into play.

There only a couple of bucks for a pack. No special trip for them. Why F-
around wasting time. Grinder slips and carves slot in finger/hand.

ER Doc: What were you doing?
RG: Savin' a buck ninety-eight... +tax.

Don't know the answer. I've used the hard plastic shims once. They
worked fine (concrete/tile). Then I'm asking myself: why can't I use
a cedar shim?

The reason I wouldn't is because tile can be dangerous. It can cut
from here to Sunday.

ER Doc: Well, don't do that. See me early next week to remove the
sutures.
RG: Okay Doc, until then I'll wrap them in Duct Tape.

They're also easy to break, particularly after being cut into a thin wedge. A
hunk of plastic is better.

moisture, grasshopper. The bottom of a toilet is no place for wood. use
the plastic EZ-Shims.
