    I have a habit of writing messages on the floor tile before gluing a toilet seat on top of it.

        So that I don’t need to drill holes thru the waterproofing. Most modern toilet seats here don’t even have screw holes in them. The adhesive can be cut thru with an utility blade and the seat removed if needed.

          So, I think we’re referring to two different things. Here, a toilet seat is the little bit that folds up and down and you put your butt on it and it bolts to the top side of the rear of the toilet bowl rim.

          Sounds like you may be talking about either squatting toilets or referring to the entire fixture as a seat? Or I’m just confused. Either is equally likely.

            I was talking about writing stuff on the floor and gluing a toilet seat on top of it so I assumed it would be obvious I’m talking about the whole fixture. Google translates it to toilet seat or just toilet. I don’t know what else to call it. To my ear, toilet refers to the room where it’s located.

              Ahh, I see I see.

              Some people call the area the toilet, but most people call it the restroom or bathroom.

              It does make some sense to call the entire fixture the seat, because people refer to it as “The Throne” pretty regularly.

              Thanks for the catheterization

              … My phone just autocorrected “clarification” to “catheterization,” and I’m leaving it.

        Easiest glue: Collect chunks of conifer resin. heat over fire in a small pan. Once its liquified mix 1 part crushed common charcoal to 3 parts wet resin. You’ve got a stickey glue. You can let it harden in the pan. When you need to use it, heat the pan and it becomes wet glue again. This is how native Americans made their canoes waterproof. It does have a charming odor.

        Second easiest: Collect peices of animal hide. Dried tails,ears, and tag ends are great. Legs are good. Sinew and tendon are best. You are rendering collagen so you need very low fat and no meat attached. Dont use pig, bear, racoon, squirrel or rat-- too oily. Dont use anything decayed or that has been frozen. Soak them in quicklime (kiln fire limestone peices gives you quicklime) and water for 2 weeks, skimming the top, to remove the hair and sanitize. wash with water, then lime wash again. Dry thoroughly. Cut the material into strips. Boil peices in a double boiler until they are rendered to mush. Let them dry. Control the temperature and dont let it get too hot or cold. Add water. Well prepared glue peices will absorb the water and you have a liquid glue. Failed glue wont absorb the water.

        Apply the glue to the underside of the toilet.
