Fulling - for wool at any rate-- was done with a sort of clay-The clay absorbed some of the lanolin that was left in the wool-- so the dry clay was pounded into the cloth to clean it of natural oils.
You can also use dry clay to "clean" cloudy wine of sediment-- (but its not called fulling-- Its done with cheap wines that come from second pressing of the grapes, and has more "pulp".) With soup or broth-- you use broken egg shells to clear the sediments-- I don't know why it works-- but it does.

this clay is known as Fuller's Earth. In brewing the processs of removing the particles is known as fining and you can use gelatin (usually isinglass), eggshells, or a variety of other substances.

and presumably-- if i have a 50 gallon barrel of wine-- and have lost 1.6 quarts of wine-- do to testing, evaportion, seepage (in to the wood) and then add 4 cups--a quart by volume-- of finings.. my barrel--might look fuller-- like it was only .6 quarts under 50 gallons... but could i sell it as that? (legal- not ethical question) or would i have to account for it? and does any one know the word? (for a volume-- )
For weight, in stores-- the different departments have "sample packages" empty to establish tare on the scales..and tare is a very old word-- and the idea that a fifty pound sack of flour-- needed to be adjusted for the weight of the flour sack-- is very old.

I think that "tare" is a very old word relating to waste or extra weight that has to be subtracted from the weight of the desired product.

tare
In the shipping and customs world, tare is the difference between gross weight and net weight, being the weight of the packaging.

Fullers earth
There used to be, and I believe still exists, something called "dry shampoo". When I was a lad, my grandmother, who had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed on one side, lived with us. My mother washed her hair with a dry shampoo, because we had a very small house with no luxury facilities and she got my grandmother in & out of the bathtub as seldom as possible because grandma was a bigger woman than my mother. The shampoo was a white powder which you brushed into and then out of the hair; it apparently absorbed the oils and, with it, dirt.
The method of clarifying soup is described in a classic Italian cookbook which I have at home. After making your stock (being careful not to let it boil hard, but stay always at a simmer), you strain it and skim off as much fat as possible. If you have time, you refrigerate it overnight so the fat gets hard and can be completely removed. Then you beat several eggwhites until frothy and pour them into the simmering soup, stirring once only, and turn off the fire. After 5 minutes, you very carefully ladle the soup, disturbing the eggwhites (which will have risen to the sruface) as little as possible, through a double thickness of cheesecloth. Properly done, you wind up with a broth which will have a nice color but clear enough to read the newspaper through. The eggwhites absorb any grease remaining, and trap any remaining fine sediment.

Tare: The weight of noble thoughts is packaging.
Were the ullage not the absence but its place, fond hearts would be less taxing. And yet is love's disequilibrium constant.

Centuries waited for the symmetry of this Copernican shift: if the natural world doesn't orbit around us, doubtless Hell does.

...actually a definition of something that isn't there! ...--it refers to something that is absent. Quite intriguing, when you think about it.
I think I'll sit down and ponder this while consuming a bag full of Doughnut Holes.
