Doubt it. Otherwise we could just use rags stuffed in there.


Incorrect. You could not get a gas tight seal. It is also a moist environment
where cloth would decompose. The wax ring is not there for blocking water. If
you understood the configuration of a toilet and how it works, you would know
that. It's not at all complicated.

So maybe you can explain to everyone why water leakage occures when a
wax ring fails?
