    Bathroom tile above stool cast iron drain
    I have installed a tile floor in the bathroom. The tile is 1/4 inch above the cast iron stool drain. I was thinking of using an extra thick beeswax seal. If this does not work, is there a spacer made to extend the cast iron flange?

    A extra thick wax seal with a funnel ,(see image) should work since the horn of the toilet bowl extends past the flange.
    If you're concerned you can raise the flange wit a set of flange spacers.(see image). Good luck, Tom
