caulking around sink
The caulking around my sink is brown and very sticky. I want to replace it. What type of caulk do I need?

It may be the 'caulk' you are referring to is indeed a putty-like oily substance called (oddly enough!) Plumber's Putty. I come from a family of plumbers and that is what they used in setting sinks, drains in sinks, faucets and such. This was in the years before there were any decent, long lasting gaskets available with the faucet sets.
PP is a tan or light brown color and must be kneaded in order to work the oil into it (when allowed to set the oil will rise to the top of the can) It is/was a great product and lasted for years without becoming brittle.
