Not familiar with it, but I'd tell him to experiment at one of his own jobs, - - and call you back in 15 years or so with a report.

Although I've not used a Fernco Toilet gasket, I do use Fernco products often, great stuff, never had a problem, I wouldn't hesitate to use one if the need came up.

Re: Fernco Wax Free Toliet Seal?
I've used 'em at least a dozen times with no problems. Not exactly a full performance test, but I can't imagine I was just lucky a dozen times without one failure.

Re: Fernco Wax Free Toliet Seal?
I agree Fernco products are good, - - but I'm one that's of the mind-set "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", - - wax seals are inexpensive and have already stood the test of time, - - besides maybe being a 'novel' idea, I don't really see the need, nor am I urged to take any unnecessary risks, - - once a seal fails, the repair may be easy enough, but the subflooring can be compromised in time.

Re: Fernco Wax Free Toliet Seal?
AWWW, come on Tom. Where's your sense of adventure? If our fore fathers had that frame of mind we'd still be hitching ol' Nelly to the wagon to go into town fer supplies.
  Oh well, pass me a beer would ya?

Re: Fernco Wax Free Toliet Seal?
one thing they're good for is they are reusable....I'm not necessarily saying I WOULD reuse one....but you could.
They're cleaner too, going in and coming out.
