NOTE: A  scraper, a caulking iron, with bends for tricky areas where the angle you need to place the oakum is offset from where you have space for the mallet, so where the strakes (longitudinal, ridge-like protrusions used to control fluid flow or increase structural stability, primarily in aviation (as aerodynamic fins), marine engineering (as hull lifting strakes), and industrial design (vortex suppression. They enhance performance by managing airflow, improving lift, or increasing traction.) come together with the keel or around mast steps etc.  To hold in the left hand and tap the back of the bend there gently with the mallet to place the oakum in the seam where your hand/fingers can't get up in there like with a normal iron.
