caulking

The boat is built entirely without caulking, with not a single butt in deck or hull.

If a short bend fitting is used, the matter of caulking is difficult.

This fitting is threaded on one end and has a socket on the other to allow for caulking.

I could see no connection between ant-heaps in a wood on shore and the caulking of a leaky schooner.

Her decks had been scrubbed until the caulking in the seams looked like lines of black paint on old ivory.
