What a great idea. My son replaced my toilet last year and I have the same problem with the bolts being too long for the caps. I'm not sure what PVC caps are though. Where do I find them...Home Depot?

My thought was that using Elmer's glue to put into place would hold it, but not be difficult to remove. Elmer's is not permanent. I agonized about how I could cover them and not be "stuck" later trying to get it off. The neatest part is the PVC caps cost less than 50 cents each. So inexpensive. I hate looking at them unfinished.

Hey, that's a good idea! Some of us with arthritis have trouble getting down on the floor and into an angle where we could saw the bolts, so that's a good fast solution. Shouldn't be all that hard to get the covers off if ever needed, I wouldn't worry about the glue. Regular white Elmer's glue is just temporary on glazed porcelain anyway, would come off by soaking with a wet cloth around it, or even tapping it firmly to pop them back off if you ever need to. I've had the same thing happen, after some installer in a hurry left bolts that way. Thanks for mentioning this, it's a clever idea!

The bolts are made long to fit a range of toilets. The plumber or who ever installed the toilet should have cut the bolts with a hack saw to lenght. The caps should never be glued on because some day the toilet may have to be taken up for any number of reasons.
