Cauking. In painting, the covering of the back side of a design with black lead, or red chalk, and tracing lines through on a waxed plate or wall or other matter, by passing lightly over each stroke of the design with a point, which leaves an impression of the color on the plate or wall.

The act or process of making seems tight, as in ships, or of furnishing with calks, as a shoe, or copying, as a drawing.
