Halocho #621 - Smearing on Shabbat

Smearing non-edibles on Shabbat is forbidden, including wax, plaster, tar, putty, clay and creams.

One may not put wax or similar into holes on Shabbat, to seal them.

One may not dab a small amount of the above on a book or wall as a placeholder.

One may smear food; butter onto bread for example.
