[Not knowing what a puddler was, I checked it out: -

In the 'Dictionary of Occupational Terms' there is a separate category for Puddler with 10 entries. Part of the entry for an Iron Puddler is; worked on an Iron Furnace charging it with pig iron and turning the pig iron into wrought iron by puddling, that is charging the hearth with iron oxide powder and stirring it into the molten pig iron with a rabble, or fork at the furnace end until the iron slowly became purer.

Repairs worn parts of lining of furnace by ramming in mixture of slag and iron oxide, which fuses and fills up cracks when furnace is in use.]
