Old time plumbers have told me its better to use 2 beeswax seals when reseating a toilet, especially in an old house with uneven surfaces. But I am told at hardware store to use only one with a flange. please tell me which is better. Thanks Barbara

    Wax rings are a good replacement because they are inexpensive and shape themselves to fit almost any toilet and floor drain. They also resist mold and bacteria and retain their sealing ability after years of use.
