Default Storing sealant tubes

Hi

We're just at the finishing stages of a two storey extension (kitchen
downstairs, bedroom, ensuite upstairs) and we are doing some of the
finishing ourselves. This means I've got at least 4 different tubes
of sealants on the go:-
- brown frame sealant
- white mould resistant shower sealant
- clear sealant
- white decorators caulk

I know the stuff isn't particularly expensive, but none of the tubes
(nor the wiki) tells me how I should store these once I've used them.
For the time being I'm just wiping the tip of the nozzle and wrapping
a babywipe round the top, but I'm sure there is a "proper" way to
store these if they aren't going to be used again for a couple of
months. Seems odd to me that few of them come with a top to reseal
either the tube directly or the nozzle (though a tube of sealant eater
that I've got did have a resealing nozzle).

Cheers!

Matt
