Tabasco, really? Well, lactic acid from the pepper fermentation, acetic acid from the vinegar, water, capsaicin. Anything I am missing? Maybe I'll try sour kraut next time I need to loosen a sticky bolt. Then if that doesn't work, a little vinegar. Then pepper juice. Then mix two of them. No water by itself though. Water won't work. mcneely -- David McNeely
