OSI sc-175 or other non hardening non hardening caulk can be clearly removed with water or some chemical?
i hope to reuse stud and wall board someday later
if i build a recording studio with stud,mdf board,screw nail and non-hardening caulk.
and after 2~3years can i disassemble them and remove the residue of SC-175 with water or a stuff then reassemble them with new sc-175?

Their spec sheet doesn't say anything about removal after the product is cured -

But as it is a latex product, I would think you could use a razor blade for most of it. How well you clean up what's left might be another problem - I've not used this brand (and haven't removed any sound walls once built) so couldn't say... Steve

they say in their website that if a man have a mistake during caulkiing it can be removed immediately with water easily
but i am not sure the rule is also applied to the present existing caulk.
thank you very much...
