caulked
Filled the gaps
Caulked is the past tense of caulk, meaning to seal joints or seams against leakage.
The original application was nautical—filling gaps between a ship's planks with tar or oakum to make it watertight: The crew caulked the hull before the voyage.
Now it more commonly refers to sealing gaps around windows, bathtubs, or fixtures with a flexible compound: I caulked around the bathroom sink.
