I'm installing a new toilet on a basement floor. I lined up the
flange slots with the bowl holes and traced around the perimeter of
the toilet. When dry-fitted It slightly rocks on the concrete
floor. I can remove small amounts of the concrete with a Dremmel
tool. Is there an easier way than trial-and-error to determine the
high points? How is this usually done? I'm guessing that this
rocking has to be eliminated before I can proceed with the install?
TIA

Haven't read all the other posts but I can tell you what I did for a
shower base that had gaps all around it causing it to rock a bit on a
concrete floor. Got a couple of can of expandable foam, you know, the
stuff used for insulating in odd places. Went around the base and
sprayed the foam until it finally started oozing out from under the
base. Let it harden over night and then trimmed to fit. Worked like
a charm, the base is rock solid. In your case don't know what would
happen if you ever wanted to lift the toilet off the floor.

What happens when you flush the first time and nothing at all goes down
because foam has oozed and filled the drain pipe? Maybe some went up the
toilet trap too huh?
