Calked seams

Calked seams refer to the process of filling gaps or joints in materials, often used in woodworking and boat building. It involves using a flexible, sealing material, like putty or caulk, to create a watertight seal between two surfaces. This is essential for preventing leaks and protecting the integrity of structures exposed to water or weather. The term "calking" can also apply to other contexts, such as sealing gaps in roofs or in masonry. The aim is to enhance durability and prolong the life of the construction by minimizing the risk of moisture damage.
