i tried both also and the self stick mesh works better than the paper. but like greg i had issues with the mesh being exsposed after sanding,mostly if you are butting a new edge to a existing edge that isn't beveled. it's great for inside corners

i found a toilet at home depot no sweat design made by glacier bay , it has a bucket in the tank and tips when you push the handel, thus the only time water is in the tank is when you flush. it cost me about 100 bucks. but no more puddles under the tank.
