A house I just bought has some stuff I've heard called faux marble in the bathrooms for the counter and backsplash - it's eventually going be replaced, but until then, I want to re-do the seam caulking where the counter and backsplash meet - but the caulking is nothing like silicone or anything that I can scrape off and replace - it is VERY hard - I'm not even sure a chisel could break it free - any suggestions - should I just put new silicone sealant over the old stuff? Thanks!!
Faux marble caulking?

Prolly grout, not caulk. If you're planning on gutting within a couple of years and you don't mind, just seal over with a clear (or white, gray, almond, as appropriate) caulk.
Otherwise, google on "grout rake"
Best,

Probably grout. Caulk over it with latex caulk of color similar to marble. Clean well, wipe with bleach, let dry first.
