Just be certain that this is not a section that you will need to remove.
Caulk is an amazing adhesive and difficult to remove, especially in recessed
areas.

Sure, go ahead. It's the right thing to do, and the right material.

Thanks for the info. The dryer vents through a dryer vent in a glass block
window in the basement. The joint where this the dryer piping connects to
that glass black vent leaks more than any. Unfortunately, the joint is
recessed and I doubt that I could tape the joint with much success because
the recess makes the space to confined. This joint had previously been
"caulked" or sealed with some caulk like material. Is it appropriate to
use
standard caulking here or is there special caulk available for this
application. I'm sure I could get a caulk tip in the space and then smooth
it out with my finger, but beyond that I doubt I'd be able to tape it with
much accuracy.
