Is silicone a solvent?
You're talking about "silicone caulk" or "silicone adhesive" which is a form of rubber, correct? If the material has not cured, isopropyl alcohol and naphtha will both remove it. If it HAS cured...bad news, the only way to get THAT off is mechanical - scrape, cut, sand, scour with a scotchbrite pad.

How do you apply latex caulking?
I believe that you mean acrylic caulking, not latex. In any event, not all brands are the same; sometimes there is an inner seal of aluminum foil that you have to puncture before you can extrude the caulking compound, but usually there isn't. You slice off the tip of the tube, and since the tip is tapered, you get to choose the side of the opening that you want, for heavy caulking or light caulking. Then put the tube in your caulking gun, to squirt out the caulking compound. If you don't have a caulking gun, you can still push on the plate in the back of the tube, the opposite end from the one you sliced open, with the handle of a hammer. The caulking compound comes out, you put it where you want it, and smooth it into place, using a finger tip. Acrylic is perfectly safe to touch, because the solvent is just water. Silicone caulking compound (which uses acetic acid as a solvent) can give you a blister if you have excessive skin contact, so you would use something else than a bare finger tip.
