The ability to peel the caulking out kinda defeats the purpose, though, doesn't it?
Ha ha, it stinks of Vinegar, so prepping it with same kinda makes sense. This summer I was using it to fight ants, but they always find another way in (the hundred holes war).

I don't know the purpose, but ... in the old daze in winter, it was custom to close off parts of the house and hunker-down next to the stove/chimney. Less volume to keep warm saves on heating fuel. I could imagine a situation where you seal up inner doors in the winter and unseal them in spring. Orrrrrr, you could seal up all windows in a room except for maybe one, and unseal the rest in the spring.

Because the RTV dries clear, I was thinking one could use this to seal gaps in the car.
