Difference Between Caulking And Fullering



Caulking:


It is used to obtain leak proof joints.
This operation is carried out by using narrow blunt tool called caulking tool.
In this process, a narrow blunt tool called caulking tool, about 5 mm thick and 38 mm in breadth, is used.
The edge of the tool is ground to an angle of 80°.
The tool is moved after each blow along the edge of the plate, which is planed to a bevel of 75° to 80° to facilitate the forcing down of edge
Surface finish obtained is less compared to fullering.
More risk of damaging the plates.
