Hopefully after reading this article you will have realised the importance of curing your wax melts. If not just give it a try with your next batch and test your standard melts against your cured melts and see the difference for yourself.
I really hope that you have enjoyed reading.
Hi, I'm Andy and that is my beautiful wife and business partner in the photo with me. I’m a married father of two and for the past 5 years me and my wife have loved scented candles, wax melts and all things that make our home smell divine.
I started Scents and Aroma as a way to share my knowledge from owning a candle, wax melt, diffuser and bath bomb business so that you can make your home smell lovely too.

Key Considerations Comparing Wax Ring Types
- Check floor levelness under installation area before deciding between standard and thick rings.
- Consider flange height carefully relative to the toilet base to ensure correct wax thickness.
- Remove all old wax, bolts, and debris under existing toilets to allow proper seating of new ring.
- Extra thick rings often have size options to match different flange heights and toilet types.
- The added cost of reinforced rings can avoid much greater expense from leaks causing subfloor damage.
- Take care installing extra thick rings to keep the wax soft and pliable as needed for maximum sealing.
- Combining thick wax rings with rubber gaskets provides added insurance against leaks on uneven surfaces.
- Test toilet stability and re-set if any rocking occurs after installing thicker wax seals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are some questions that a lot of people ask regarding the different wax ring types –
When should you use an extra-thick wax ring?You will need to use an extra-thick wax ring whenever you are dealing with a flange that is on the floor level or maybe a bit below or deeper to the floor level. Anything below ¼” should clearly indicate using an extra thick wax ring.
Sometimes the wax rings you will need for sealing your toilet will be extra thick because of the extra space they have to cover. Without the extra thick layer of the wax rings, you can’t cover up the larger toilet flanges properly. This may even result in your toilet leaking at some point. That’s some wax rings extra thick.
To find out the size of the wax ring that you should be using, you will need to check up on your toilet bowl. Turn it upside down and see the opening on the lower part of your toilet. Based on that, you will need to determine the wax ring size.
Yes, you can use two regular wax rings instead of using one extra thick wax ring. However, that won’t be the most efficient way to seal your toilet because there will still be a chance of leakage around it. If your toilet requires a double-thick wax ring, I recommend going for that instead of using two regular wax rings.
Types of Car Wax
Most car wax varieties fall into one of three categories: paste, liquid or spray. Each type has its pros and cons, and the waxing process is slightly different depending on which kind you choose.
Paste Wax
Paste waxes will produce the best shine, last the longest after application, and are harder to waste than liquid or spray waxes, so it’ll be a while before you run out. However, the waxing process will take longer using paste than if you choose one of the other two types as it’s harder to apply, so some patience will be necessary.
Liquid Wax
Liquid wax is easier to use than paste, and if you find a trusted brand, it can last longer after application than it would otherwise. Just make sure you don’t use too much and leave behind large amounts of residue. Excessive residue can make buffing the wax off at the end notably harder.
Spray Wax
Once you’ve weighed your options and chosen your wax, you’re ready to start!
