What in the tobes of hades prompted you to pick THINSET MORTAR as the
possible repair material? It would make just as much sense to choose
licorice whips or toenail fungus.

They make toilet shims for this. Probably on the rack at Home Depot
right next to the toilet flange repair kit...

Then again, you did think that you were going to somehow draw the
tolet, made of RIGID and FRAGILE vitreous china, down over an uneven
floor... Takes a smart one to figure that out.

Do you know which end to put in the toilet to do your business?
