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.
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.
