silicone
I suggest the kind that is non-water soluble (it really smells bad and you need to wear gloves with it)

Umm local hardware store? I used regular white caulk since it was just laying around and it worked fine. Look for some clear sealant and it should be good.

General caulk can grow mold. I dont know about you, but I wouldnt want mold growing on my stuff.
The clear silicone is sold anywhere that sells 'caulk'. I know for a fact that ACE sells its own brand of the clear silicon that Im talking about
