The sealant on the container says it's transparent but it's not transparent silicone, it's white. Note: I didn't trust this brand anymore so I went to a hardware store and bought 5 tubes of another brand that said they were clear. And they were also white seals. It's not a waste of money because the white seal will come in handy in the future. But I wanted to clean up. So it is not visible on the top deck of the porch. OK.
