Right.....
Toilet paper is not a problem if one uses the correct paper and plenty of water.   Been doing it without problems for 40 yearsWink

Toilet paper isn't a problem if you fill the toilet at least 1/2 full for #2, and if necessary, flush more than once.  Also add several gallons of water along with the tank chemical of your choice right after emptying the tank.

Which is why I advocated retrieving the clog back out the way it went in.....Tongue

Thanks for all of the suggestions!!
