I have already removed the old toilet and have stuffed a rag in the
sewer opening. This is a toilet that has been in the house for the
past 15 years... I have used a putty knife to remove the old wax ring
- however there is still quite a bit there that is stuck in the
crevices - must I remove all of the old wax ring? thanks

Wax rings are old technology. Use a "waxless toilet seal" once andyou
will never, ever look at a wax one again.

Also, toilets are old technology. Use a "toiletless waste disposer"
once and you will never want to use a toilet again.


couldn't resist.
