Can't you just replace your hinges with a pair you can buy? You can find sets all over the internet. Do you have a picture that can show why that set is different?

Could make one. 2 hinges & weld/fasten together.

Conden… Sation… Sation … sation… 🌧 🪟

Screws are much stronger in shear than tension. Use a bracket from the sides rather than trusting the life of your kid to a wood screw in tension.

It's just water dribbling my guy. If it's not coming from the tank, then there's no leak. The water can't magically appear in the bowl. You'll drive yourself mad. You're like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't even there!

Use anti bacterial Silicone. I am recaulking my shower for the 3rd time after mold got into the silica.

You can put the screw eye directly into the header board. That transfers some of the load to the vertical framing.

If you are not an electrician, please do not call it 'professional experience' just because someone paid you to do it. Handyman special at best since you do not speak of being code compliant.

He is right. Just make sure you clean the tub area that's your gluing too really really. Also wipe it with alcohol to make sure no residue remains for other cleaners before reglueing.

Glue it using a continuous bead of a silicone caulk. Also run a bead on the sides inside of the shower where the track meets the shower. Let dry for 24 hours before use. A bunch says you can go sooner, but if it gets touched or anything you can disform the beads you've run or even bump the track back out of place as it's not fully cured.

…also make sure the tank level is adjusted correctly. If it is set too high, it will go down that same overflow pipe and come out the rim jets. After flushing and stopping the fill, it should be at least a 1/4” below that stand pipe.

Then you have some sort of magic water or something paranormal happening. Call an exorcist, or Dumbledore.

Water into the bowl jet is supplied through the overflow tube that extends above the flapper. A tube from the top of the fill valve supplies water into the overflow tube when it is filling the tank after the flush.

Either your float valve is set too high and water is trickling from the tank into the overflow valve (the water should stop about 1/4 to 1/2 inch before it reaches the top of the overflow valve), or you have a slow leak at the flapper that is causing a momentary drop in the float valve which results in water from the valve to be delivered to the overflow tube.

Condensation maybe

The jets would be the hose going into the stand pipe, not through the valve. The dye you put in the water bowl goes through the flush valve and into the bottom. The rim jets are fed from the hose coming off your valve. Check to see if that hose is leaking.

Congratulations on realizing that you have the same problem that I do. Drywall repairs drive me crazy.

As stated, grout isn’t the solution here. Caulk is the answer.

Or a lot more if that is load-bearing.

Well, it’s definitely there as I can wipe the side of the bowl with a towel dry, and a moment later there are downward trails of water albeit very slow trails.

Haha definitely OCD. I never hear the full valve kick on, so I guess I will just have to live it it.

May I ask you another dumb question, you sound like you know your stuff!

Every hardwax oil how to says to sand using 150-220, is there any benefit or downside to sanding smoother? 300, 500, 600?

Then it sounds like there isn’t a leak and you’re seeing something that isn’t there.

Shut off the water for about eight hours. No change in tank water level, I dyed it blue to make sure it wasn’t somehow leaking into the bowl. The dye also helped me figure out water wasn’t getting into the overflow

You are both talking about different printers. Top comment is FDM and yours is Resin.

It could be condensation from a temperature differential. As long as the fill valve doesn't actuate, it's not costing you any money. Unless it bothers you that the inside of your toilet bowl is wet. Then you should see someone about your OCD.

Clean it well, use a high quality silicone , and apply the silicone liberally so water can't get under it and produce mold.
