I have bough the caulk but I didn't go with silicon. I went instead with clear latex caulk. It's not too late to change this; should I take the latex caulk back and replace it with silicon caulk?

I bought them from Lowes and when I got home and checked the blog's "Adding the panels" page I noticed I had bought exactly the same ones as they had. I can't figure out how to link to the image so I'll reupload it here:
Both of those boxes are exactly what I got from Lowes. They were in the hardware aisle in the "Specialty" section. They were not in the bulk section and you're stuck buying them in these little containers. Pretty expensive, too.
