The appropriate type of caulking around a kitchen sink

caulkingrepair

The caulking around my sink has worn/rotted away and I've removed it properly, but I've been looking into what I kind of caulking to use, and there seem to be many different types, so I'm a bit unsure of what to do.

Which type of caulking is used for a kitchen sink (the gap between the kitchen sink and the counter-top? Does anything else need to be applied in addition to the caulking?

You need a 100% silicone clear caulk and since it is near a sink I would get something that is mold resistant.

Silicone for the sink to counter binding and its flexibility with temperature change.

Clear because you don't want to have staining issues down the road. Also if you need to add caulk down the road - clear matches clear.

GE Silicone II

I have used this on almost anything.
