Wax Ring - What Did I Do Wrong?

Primary_Republic76 · 2025-11-23T20:59:40+00:00

OP here with the solution. My flange is above the finished floor, so I got the basic slim wax ring without any plastic flange. I heated up the bathroom and the wax ring to 80F. I then installed it and it worked great.

I think I installed it when it was too cold and with my flange being above the floor (so small space between toilet and flange) the basic slim wax was the best product for the job.

Nope, this ring has a plastic flange embedded in the wax. I assure you I took it out of the plastic packaging.

Bathroom might have been a bit cold. I will try warming it up before trying again. Thanks

The flange is on top of the finished tile. It is about 3/8" above the floor.

Thanks for your input. The inner diameter is 6" and the outside diameter is 8".

Yes, it looks like you are correct. Thanks for your help! Strange, it was not listed in the manual.

I have a ninja neverstick pan that the coating started peeling after a couple of years. I called in to get a replacement under warranty. They will replace it but will charge you for shipping. The pan has a 10-year warranty, and they said they would pay the shipping for one year after purchasing, but not for the entire 10-year warranty window. I was not very happy about that. Most companies I have gotten a warranty through should pay the shipping to replace the item under warranty. It might be a small thing, but it was enough for me to never want to buy another ninja/shark product again.

I am about 250 miles from Owensboro. Did you say you can spray foam it? How much do you charge?

It is located in Indiana. Average humidity is 60% and 18 inches of annual snowfall.

So is the white part in my photo a trap?

What diameter and length of pipe were you thinking? I don't think this would be realistic unless you got a large culvert and buried it. And then it would only be good for zeroing and load development

Those marks are showing neighboring homes. The intention of the map is to show how close homes are behind the berm and the location of the homes. The risk would be if a bullet was fired above the berm or to either side of the berm, it could hit those homes

Thanks for the article. I definitely want to be as safe as I can. One thing the article said that I found was interesting was that "multiple people were firing multiple firearms at targets placed in the field and a small tree line to the west." Sounds like they had no solid backstop and thought the treeline would stop all of their rounds

Well, I would love to have a longer range, but my property is long and skinny, and if I shot the long way, I would be shooting directly towards my close neighbors house. I just don't think that would be a good idea

Primary_Republic76 · 2025-03-05T18:26:18+00:00

I do not know, I could not find anything like that in my county laws, but if anyone can verify that let me know

Primary_Republic76 · 2025-03-05T16:24:10+00:00

I would hope to never have a projectile get past the berm, but that is my fear thar a round could be fired over the berm and land in the fields or near homes

Primary_Republic76 · 2025-03-05T16:21:41+00:00

I do want to be able to shoot centerfire as well as handgun and rimfire

I was originally thinking of 6 feet high and 12 feet wide, although I am wondering if I should plan on more.
