Window Sealant/Silcone

Question

Wondering what to use. The stuff that is on my trailer already (around the windows, door, storage compartment, etc.) is (or was) white. It also never hardens completely. I want to get some more for sealing a few spots. What is it? Might have to zoom in on the pics to see what I'm talking about.

Mod Edit: Adjusted photo width, please set width to a maximum of 800 pixels wide when posting photos.

What you are looking at is called butyl tape.It is applied before the window is installed.

A plastic scraper works wonders to clean the excess and make things look good again

Ok. Well, is there any type of "silicone" I can use that stays pliable? If not, what does everyone use to fix things up. For example, I have been messing with my timer and switch for my fuel station. I need to seal it back up. What should I use?

I  advise against silicone. Butyl tape is available at most Lowes, Home Depot and Ace Hardware stores.
