Default Silicone Question

I am in the middle of building my new terrarium and had a question. When using silicone to apply substrate to a background, what type do you use? Is all clear silicone non-toxic? Or do I have to buy the aquarium specific silicone?

Any help would be great!

Normally the brand and colors used for this is Black or Brown GE silicone II. But really, any silicone that is labeled as 100% silicone and doesnt have mold inhibitors will be ok.

90 percent on the market have mold inhibitors, so make sure you check it doesnt have it. I would also go for black, as it hides the spots you missed better. Remember to buy some gloves as well, terrible stuff to get on your hands.
