Title: Wax ring on your boots
Post by: Billy74 on November 01, 2017, 10:30:12 AM: Saw a video of a guy using a wax ring used for seating new toilets on his hunting boots as a water proofed. Anyone try that?

So, if you normally treat your boots with wax then at $5 a toilet ring would be a cheap supply.

Probably a used wax ring he got for free

With all of the other low cost options, I don't know why anyone would consider this.
