What are you caulking? Is this exterior trim or what? At any rate, I
definitely wouldn't use Silicone. I'd use a one part urethane caulk
designed for windows and siding. Here is what we are currently
using:

I agree with Marson. I have dealt with many silicone failures. I
believe in urethanes and Dow Corning 795 if you insist on
silicone.
