I usually fit the pan 'dry', using levelling wedges (plastic) only if the floor is way out (very rare). After screw-down I then follow this up with clear or white silicone sealant all round the pan foot, injected well into the gaps between pan foot and floor. I then finish off with either a moist finger, or a special rubber tool to give a good finish and force the silicone into the gaps.
After this treatment - and 24 hours to let the silicone sealant cure thoroughly - the pan is well bedded with no grinding or rocking at all, and there is a layer of silicone between floor and pan foot virtually all the way round (because the foot actually touches the floor at only a few points).
I've done many wc pans this way and have had no trouble.

hi alanka, do you mean you dont screw the pans down just silicone? i go to so many jobs where plumbers have done this or used short screws or steel screws which rust.

was told by a local plumber that they used to turn the pan over.. fill the foot with cement and flip it over sand castle style. Nothing would move it.
Unfortunatly due to expansion/contraction it often cracked the pain base over time.

You saying about seeing w/c pans on plinths
Reminds me of when I was working for a firm in Plymouth, who's initials are the same as a brand of whisky, I had, had a fall out with a director of the firm, (giving me a direct order to turn on an unsafe gas supply (the gauge dropped 5" in less than a minuet) and over the water board bylaws (overflows, from wwwp's tucked under the w/c seat, I went round and cut them off to comply with by laws)
I had just made up as a "dry run" a range of 5 w/c's on a Marley plastic adjustable bends/branch's "float, when I was told that I was sacked, the float had been marked for glueing with a felt tip pen, in my temper over the sacking I kicked this float to pieces then just stuck it all back again without glueing it lining up the pen marks, the government trainee who took over from me took the marks as gospel and stuck the float together as it was, I heard later when it came to fit the pans, 1 in the range had to be chopped into the floor the next one had to be on a plinth
Revenge was sweet, especially as I found out later that, that barsteward, had conned me into taking of asbestos lagging, saying that it was magnesia lagging

The prefect promotion tool for you no need to bed this pan down
all you need is a tool bag
Tired of having to pull off the road and search endlessly for public restrooms that just never seem to be around?
Well... suffer no more. The Toilet Trike can provide you with the instant relief that you always seem to be looking for.
Don't be concerned about the extra wheel and the additional weight of the toilet bowl slowing you down. The time that you will gain by not having to make frequent trips to the 'boys room' will more than make up for the little extra weight and the additional rolling resistance of that third wheel.
Don't wait a minute longer.... loo independence can be yours today!
