We tried pieces of edpm with rubber sealer on them as gaskets to
compress the toilet flanges tight to the sides. Worked well.

Tried that, but without th erubber sealer last year, with no success. Same
rubber stuff you use on bicycle tires?

One suggestion for connectors the guy at Lowe's had, was use insulating
foam
on the inside around pipes coming in.. since it's waterproof and sticks
to
everything, that should provide a good flexible waterproof seal on the
inside for the inlet.

What would the foam be sticking to? It likes enough surface to bond
well.

it would be sticking to the pvc pipe in it, and the sides of the rubbermaid

An observation from last year: the epoxy didn't adhere to the rubbermaid
container at all. it did stick to the flangfe, but not the rubber maid.
I'm
guessing that just made a tight enough seal from the screws to prevent
most
water leakage, but plumber's epoxy and rubbermaid don't mix.

Yeah. Something more rubbery, compressed works better.

Good luck!


Thanks.. crossed fingers.
