toilet tank flapper isn't sealing quite perfectly
on occasion hear the tank topping up.
Thing in there now is attached with ears over tabs on the tube and looks
like pressed carped padding - butt ugly!

Any good/better/best stopper floppers out there ? options ?

Greetings,

Make sure the lip that the flapper seals against is smooth and clean.

Hope this helps,
William

PS: The 99c ones have always served me well.

A direct replacement should work fine. Just be certain that your "topping
up" is not due to something else like the tube into the overflow pipe being
too far down and siphoning.

I prefer the Korky Original.
If I release the handle, it drops quickly, and seems to
last forever.

Korgy Orig, was bot@neighborhood hardware store, $2.99 + 7% tax lowest
priced one available there.

Picked up a big roll of what I thought was 2"wide 3m clear packing tape,
thought Ouch $6.xx but it is flat/invisable box tape ,, . compared
yardage & price with the 2" shiny brown package tape then noticed the
package said `Clear Nearly Invisable Duct Tape !
Suddenly I realized - I could make Invisable repairs everywhere ! Oh man
I though NEAT - bought myself all three rolls for christmas

If I release the handle, it drops quickly, and seems to
last forever.

I have found that some of the cheap blue cleaner blocks you
leave in the tank can degrade the plastic flapper. Is this a clue?
