So this toilet wax ring is the actual ring?

This isn’t the first that I have come across someone mentioning toilet wax for grafting on this forum:

Best grafting sealant

Hi all, I have two grafting tools (thanks for the reco: Alan) and I have my Parafilm. There is a ‘black sealer’ I see in many of the grafting videos, but there is no name attached to it. I would like to get a sealant that will give me the best chances for success. Recommendations please.

If I dont end up getting around to ordering Doc Farwell’s in time I may just use the toilet wax or Elmers glue. I havent ordered Doc Farwell’s yet because of our back and forth weather, it cannot be exposed to freezing temps.
