So it looks as if evrything is o.k.

Milo, Lere,
Are you guys saying that this is a normal bowl and not a manufactures defect?


I can't buy that Lee. When the factory makes a boo-boo they make a porcelain plug and hope it holds. In my time Briggs was great on passing defective bowls after they pligged a hole. Sometimes the patch held and sometimes we were out there replacing bowls under warranty. Talk to me guys! Would you install this bowl?? Tom

Hi Tom. Ive actually seen the white silicone on the underside of some brands of toilets. Im not familiar with the manufacturing process of toilets, I just know that I've seen it more than a few times. Never had a problem with them toilets, so I'm assuming it's a normal thing these days. I never really thought all that much about it, just saw it when inspecting new toilets as I take them out of the box(surprising how many are damaged during shipping). I would have set the bowl before caulking was removed, but after it was removed, I personally would not reset the bowl, or attempt to reseal the hole myself, for liability reasons. At that point I would have opted for a replacement bowl. Ill be keeping my eyes open to look specifically for the silicone from here on out, got me interested now. Sorry for the late response, been busy.
