I had pasty residue clinging to the walls of the toilet drain, thicker at at the flange and tapering to nothing at the bottom - was thinking lime scale due to hard water and the metal flange, but possibly some wax in the mix, now that washer/dryer and basement shower are all near the toilet and husband washes with piping hot
water... About to replace ring - will use rubber not wax this time.

Wax is not the problem. The lime scale is; in multiple ways. It may have
clogged the jet hole, rim holes, trap way. You may have to replace the toilet
and add a water softener. Look on U tube for more thoughts.
