Hello,
From what I understand Microphor does not make the porcelain bodies of our toilets. While working through my squawk list on 525 we had an air leak that require pulling the 1/2 bath toilet. In the process, found the toilet floor base had been cracked before and glued together with who knows what. Rather than take a chance, I added a layer of 2" fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin to both base flanges. The repair added some reinforcement to each flange. Repaired the air leak and reinstalled the toilet being careful not to over torque the base bolts. Back in operation with no issues:-)
