What application are we talking about here? They make temporary caulking for sealing drafty windows and stuff during the winter months that can be peeled off in the spring but that’s a lot different than any application I would use silicone for. Proper caulking selection and application technique seems like it would be the remedy for a 3 year failure cycle.
I found the silicone not adhering to aluminum coil stock and/or vinyl windows. At first it looks great. A year or two later, it has come loose from one or the other and can be peeled off by hand.
What situation are you removing caulking only to re-apply it, every 3 years?
The majority of individuals, on the other hand, prefer to use latex (or acrylic) caulking. Latex is water-soluble, making it simple to use and clean up afterward.
We use OSI Quad. We typically stay far far away from silicone whenever possible.
