I did not put the wax ring properly at base of the toilet and some of the wax fell in the toilet drain.now the toilet won't flush.I tried to run a snack in the drain but it is not catching on the snack.
What can I use to remove or dissolve the wax.please help.
THIS TOILET IN THE BASEMENT AND IT IS A NEW BASEMENT.THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE TOILET HAS BEEN PUT IN THE BASEMENT
Thank you

If you can't snag it, try using a trible hook on a foot of fishing line. Next try about 4 quick buckets of very hot water. Do you know if there was a neopreme collar on this ring, is it still in place?

Good idea with the fish hook I was going to suggest a coat hanger straightened out with a J hook bent in the end.
