	Caulking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caulking is a process used to seal the seams in wooden boats, in order to make them watertight, or to close up crevices in buildings against water, air, dust or insects.
		An old term for caulk in a maritime context is paye, and the longest joint on a ship was referred to as “the devil”.
		Unlike construction caulk, which is applied where no building movement is expected, a sealant is made of elastomeric materials that typically allow movement of 25% to 50% of the width of the joint.

		Solvent based caulks intended for use as a substitute for acrylic latex caulks should be avoided because they become hard and brittle.

		If a caulked area on your boat begins to loosen or leak, it’s obviously time to reseal it.
		But remember also that sealants normally degrade as they are exposed to salt, moisture, sun, and continuous flexing, so plan on a regular program of recaulking your boat, and not just the obvious areas.
