Vinegar is greatly diluted acetic acid. Something around 5% acidity. Acetic acid
can also be 20%, 50%,100%, or anything in between, all which might surprise you
with their effects on metals including stainless.


Where does one buy the higher concentrations? I'm looking for something to
apply to the aluminum stanchion bases in order to get loose the stainless
bolts securing the stanchions to the bases. Might the higher concentrations
of acetic be what I'm looking for?


Photography supply outlets have the pure stuff.
