toilet seal replacement

help! i recently bought a 1950s house and have to replace the seal due to some moisture found underneath the toilet. (found during inspections). im totally mid project and im super confused on how to proceed. i went with a silicone ring instead of wax but im concerned its too high? my toilet is now 1/4” above the floor… i didn’t use the spacer it came with, but the seal sits almost a whole inch off the floor. the flange is also about 1/2” off the floor… is that too high? do i have to switch to a wax ring and compress it to fit? submitted by /u/Beautiful_Ad_8903 [link] [comments]
