joint filler

Seam repair compound

Joint filler is material used to fill gaps between surfaces—typically where building materials meet.

In construction, it fills spaces between drywall panels, concrete slabs, or tiles before finishing.

The term also applies to products that fill cracks between paving stones or bricks: We applied joint filler between the patio pavers.
