Why

?

it’s always pushing back

built from more material than the

expected max joint opening

and precompressed to less than the joint size

once released, it

expands to seal the joint

Why

?

and it’s pliant

under its own backpressure it

conforms to irregularities

(makes sense to seal up any pin

holes)
