Caulk - Silicone
This is a product used to fill in gaps between tiles,
in the bathroom, outside, ...
You need a caulking gun or you won't get anything out of
your tube. You can find this in any hardware store.
Most of the
caulk-brands are toxic, so when working with this, work in a well ventilated
room (set your windows open) or work outside. They also have a strong
scent.
Now there are also non-toxic caulk brands.
Regular caulk has a very strong smell, though there is a caulk on the market that doesn't smell at all
(GE SiliconeII, found at Home Depot).
Silicone sealant is quite hard to clean from piping bags and surfaces whilst wet as it is waterproof.
It is suggested to use white spirit or paint cleaning supplies.
Silicone whipped cream doesn't need to be sealed with gloss varnish or sealant when dry.
This pipes very well. Get your caulking gun with your caulk tube inside (help) and pour some into
a piping bag. (help scroll down)
You can also colour this by adding paint or even lipstick. (thanks to Kawaiifrenzy)
Be sure to use 100% silicone!
Touch: rubbery
Drying time: fully dried after 3 days
Where to find it: in your local hardware store, Home Depot, Brico, Hubo, Walmart, £1 shops
Price: really cheap, you can find it in £1 shops in the UK.

Acrylic sealant
Acrylic sealant is similar to silicone sealant in that it is used to fill in gaps, tiles and used in bathrooms, kitchens and on doors. They smell far less than silicone and smells like acrylic paint. It also dries hard and opposed to rubbery and can be cleaned up with water whilst wet. You do need to seal acrylic whipped cream when dry with a gloss varnish or sealant as it can catch colours and dirt from items such as handbags and around the house.
Like silicone sealant, you need a caulk gun to get anything out of the tube. These can be picked up along side the sealant in places like DIY and hardware store and £1 shops in the UK.
Touch: Hard
Drying time: Fully dried after 3-4 days
Where to find it: Your local hardware store, Home Depot, Brico, Hube, Walmart, £1 shops
Price: Cheap, from £1 to £3 a tube.
