Explanation:

Caulking:

  • Caulking is an operation of closing down the edges of the plates and heads of the rivets to form a metal-to-metal joint.
  • The edge of the rivet head is tightly pressed and expanded on the plate by a caulking tool that looks like a fattened cold chisel.

Fullering:

  • Fullering is an operation of pressing the whole surface of the edge of the plate.
  • It is done by a fullering tool.
  • When the caulking tool is about as thick as the plate, it is called a fullering tool.
  • The whole surface of the edge of the first plate is tightly pressed on the second plate.
  • A better fluid-tight joint is achieved by fullering.
  • Caulking is done on the edges of the plates as well as on the edges of the rivet heads.
  • But fullering is done on the edges of the plate only.
  • To facilitate caulking and fullering on the plates, the edges of the plates are bevelled about 80° to 85°.
