        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. a viscous semisolid material of varying composition used
        to fill in seams of objects which are exposed to water,
        such as wooden ships or bath tiles; -- called also calk
        and caulking. After applying in a semisolid form, the
        material hardens and dries to form a waterproof seal. It
        is used in the process of caulking. It is sometimes
        applied together with a rope-like cord to fill larger
        seams.
