Professor bunsen sure does silicon in rock form -- and you can use the silicone in a tube for silicone...

I bought a tube of Selleys Roof and Gutter Silicone Sealant. I then sqeezed out long lines of it onto an overhead sheet. When dry just peeled it of and voila silicone for the experiment. Teacher told me what lengths would be best and made them to measure. She was happy with the result.
