Thats the first place I look at a water closet when I inspect, IF its got any caulk to start with.
Not that I care. But its fun seeing who does it what way.
Some of these rules are just about silly.
Same way I do wax rings at home, I actually use the thin wax only to fill in voids first, then seat a ring, and then ad a thin one on top, wax only.
