A few weeks ago, we used DAP Dynaflex 230 latex sealant while retiling
the bathroom, and used a thick bead of it as caulk between the toilet
and floor to prevent the possibility of leaks. Now we're trying to
pull up the toilet again to replace one of the tiles, but the toilet
won't detach from the floor! We're afraid to pull much harder on the
toilet because we don't want to crack the porcelain.
Help?


I have a tool that works in situations like this - imagine this item
without the handle (it fell off from serious whacking):

Basically any burn-off scraper with a long sharp-ended blade you can tap
gently with a hammer will work.


Did you fall off a turnip truck? Cut the damn latex caulk like I do;
reach in my back pocket for my everyday tool. No need for a hammer to
get a toilet out for repair. You might be amazed:
