I've got a toilet to set, on a flush but rough and older metal flange.
What alternatives are there to toilet wax rings? I've tried two over time, each subsequently became destroyed when the toilet needed to be snaked.

First off, can you replace the old rough flange or add a 1/4" extension plate to smooth it out? If not, can you file it down a bit and smooth out the rough spots? I've used a number of the seals pictured below and have much more luck with them than with the wax rings. Good luck
