Sioux Chief oakum is a 1 lb. bundle of oil-treated jute fiber used to seal pipe joints, gaps, and seams in plumbing and construction applications. This brown oakum expands when wet, creating a secure, watertight seal ideal for cast-iron pipes, driveways, windows, door frames, and log cabin caulking. The natural material swells as moisture is absorbed, filling gaps effectively and preventing leaks.
Oil-treated jute fibers add strength and durability for heavy-duty sealing tasks where flexibility matters. The non-irritating fibers make it safe and comfortable to work with. Random-cut strands give you material to pack joints and crevices of various sizes across plumbing, construction, and repair applications.
