Seemed like an easy thing but getting a bead that looks
decent isn't that easy. Any suggestions?

The tile behind the toilet is coming up and looks like it
has been water damaged. Is there a good way to glue
the linoleum, not tile, down?



I use white silicone caulk vs painters' caulk, as it is waterproof yet
flexible, and a very effective adhesive. Leave the back side of the base of
the toilet open. That way, if there is a seal leak, you will find it, rather
than have the leakage seep down through the floor.


The wax ring is the seal that prevents leakage. Grout or plaster of
paris provides rock-solid support for the toilet at its edge on the
floor. Caulk has no part of it.
