"Calk" is a term commonly used in construction and carpentry that refers to the process of filling gaps or cracks in materials, such as wood or concrete, using a substance called caulk. Caulk is a flexible material, usually in the form of a tube or cartridge, that is applied with a caulking gun to seal joints, prevent leaks, and provide insulation. It helps create a smooth and finished appearance while also providing protection against moisture, air drafts, and other elements.
