When installing laminate floors under a toilet should I use silicone around the edges of the laminate closest to the flange or will a wax ring with a funnel be enough?

Silicone would be advisable around the wax ring. In addition take silicone and put it where the floor and wall meet. This should be hidden by quarter round or shoe. This is so if the toilet were to over flow, the water would not be able to roll under the boards.

How important is it to put a silicone seal in the cut out laminate around the toilet flange and what if the toilet has been put back without a silicone seal?
Plumbing code requires a wax ring that is properly installed and sealed. Beyond that, if you wish to use silicone for appearance or to protect the laminate, that's your option.AnswerIn Tulsa Oklahoma code requires at least dap to put around bottom of bowl. I don'tlike it myself but it looks good. I have had some that after being sealed like for a long time you had a very hard time getting stool up when needed.

How does water leak into headlight assembly 2003 Chevy Venture?
All venture models have this problem. The silicone seal around the lens has failed. Simply remove the light assemble and re-silicone around the seam where lens meets the backing. Ideally you want to remove lens and old silicone and reseal. That can be tricky. You dont want to crack the lens while removing. Hint = use a hair dryer to heat up silicone seam first. Good luck
Installing Laminate Floors?
Installing laminate floors is a popular DIY project because laminate flooring is relatively easy to work with and doesn't require the same level of skill as hardwood flooring installation. Here are the general steps to guide you through the process of installing laminate floors: Materials and Tools You'll Need: Laminate flooring planks Underlayment (if not pre-attached to the planks) Spacers Saw (circular saw or jigsaw) Measuring tape Utility knife Flooring installation kit (includes tapping block and pull bar) Hammer Pencil Safety goggles Knee pads Step 1: Prepare the Subfloor Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and structurally sound. If needed, repair any damaged areas and remove any existing flooring or carpeting. Install a moisture barrier or underlayment if required by the manufacturer's instructions. Step 2: Acclimate the Laminate Flooring Allow the laminate flooring to acclimate to the room's humidity and temperature for the recommended time (typically 48 hours) before installation. This helps prevent warping or buckling. Step 3: Plan the Layout Plan the layout of the laminate flooring, considering the direction of the planks, doorways, and any obstacles in the room. Laminate flooring should be installed perpendicular to the longest wall to create a visually appealing appearance. Step 4: Install the Underlayment If your laminate flooring does not have an attached underlayment, roll out the underlayment material according to the manufacturer's instructions. Overlap seams and tape them to prevent moisture infiltration. Step 5: Start Installation Begin installation in the left-hand corner of the room, working from left to right. Place spacers along the walls to maintain an expansion gap of about 1/4 inch. Step 6: Install the First Row Lay the first row of laminate planks with the tongue side facing the wall. Use a tapping block and hammer to lock the planks together. Be sure to stagger the joints between planks, and cut the last plank as needed to fit. Step 7: Continue Installation Continue installing subsequent rows, interlocking the planks by angling the tongue into the groove and tapping them together. Use the pull bar to help close gaps along the long edges of the planks. Step 8: Cut Planks Measure and cut planks to fit around doorways, corners, and any other obstacles. Use a saw (circular saw or jigsaw) for straight or curved cuts. Step 9: Complete the Installation Continue installing planks across the room until you reach the final row. Be sure to maintain the expansion gap along the walls. The last row may need to be cut lengthwise to fit. Step 10: Install Baseboards and Transition Strips Install baseboards or quarter-round molding to cover the expansion gap around the perimeter of the room. Additionally, install transition strips at doorways and between different flooring types. Step 11: Finish and Clean Carefully remove spacers, and inspect the floor for any visible gaps. Clean the floor to remove any debris, and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for any final steps, such as adding transition strips or applying moldings. Laminate flooring installation is generally straightforward for DIYers, but it's important to follow the manufacturer's specific instructions for your flooring product. If you encounter any challenges or are unsure about any aspect of the installation, consider consulting with a professional installer or seeking guidance from the flooring manufacturer. Proper installation ensures the longevity and appearance of your laminate floors.
