Another new skilled I leanred since I bouth Stormy: caulking Here is a little definition: Caulk, to (Verb) - To make watertight by driving or caulking (usually loose cotton fibres) into a seam, followed by a coarser fibre material such as oakum then stopping with pitch or putty. Caulking (Calking) - Boat cotton, oakum or other fibres driven into planking seams to make them watertight. The oldest form of caulk consisted of fibrous materials driven into the wedge-shaped seams between boards on wooden boats or ships. So this is what I'm doing to the deck :) IG: @yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy
