OMG!

For all of us who have ever rigged up some backass way to fix something -

DON'T, for the love of all that is holy, Don't use caulk to fix a leak in a pipe!

Please.

This will spare me the need to wring your neck and you the wringing of the neck.

On that note, obviously I still don't have a kitchen faucet. And the shortest nipples are still too long. I will have to check Home Depot to see if they have shorter ones. Now I need to go cry.

not quite sure I understand the problem but caulk is definitely not the answer -- if it's from wall to faucet, you should be able to use some flexible tubing

Wasn't me. It was probably the smarty pants who thought that closing a door and drywalling over one side was the way to get rid of the doorway. I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get the caulk in the pipe threads to loosen enough to unscrew the pipe. This is what I get for 2 extra inches of counter space.

pipe threads to loosen ...

..little heat from a torch?? you could probably heat away from the wall and let the pipe carry the heat -- eh, but what do I know...I just try to figure things out as I go :)
