install with the seal and bolts. The tape will prevent the thinset

If I was looking to buy a house and I saw that somone had thinset/
mortar/grout under the toilet, I'd knock $1000 off the price of the
house or look at another house.

When buying a house a $1000.00 is nothing, unless you live somewhere
real cheap where it can make or break a deal. Read the original post,
he is installing a basement toilet on top or rough concrete. I
wouldn't want that either for myself. But, adding a layer of thinset
under the toilet and cleaning up the edges would not look any worse
than any other part of the concrete floor. The trick is to avoid
bonding the toilet to the floor

I often use waxed paper for "no-stick but shape" applications.

and doing a neat cleanup around the
toilet. If you do that you would never know there was a thin leveling
layer of thinset under the toilet.
