Most common 3M 5200 or 3M 4200, there are other brands also, 5200 once cured (takes a while) is tough stuff and not just your plain old silicone

5200 is an adhesive, not a sealant. You can't imagine how hard 5200 is to get off once it's cured up.
4200 is for sealing.

4200 Sealant Use 4200....
NOT 5200 !!!!!!!!! As Pat said, its an adhesive. Sets up hard & WILL crack & you almost have to use a chisel & hammer to remove it.

Pat Goff taught Curtbass who taught me who has put it to the test.... 4200. Hands down. I follow Pat's advice. Its common sense, straightforward advice. Johnny Love (RIP Johnny) taught me quite a bit also. Jim (Frosty) Frost was also pretty wise.
