I am not sure of the value of concentrating CS is. Seems most reports are that CS should be diluted. However there was the posting on adding concentrated CS to paint for anti-fungal and I have a lot of painting coming up. Secondly, As a herbalist I'd like to see if CS as any - even short term - preservative qualities. On the web I read that Cayenne and CS make a good combination. So I was wondering if an Cayenne Alcohol CS tincture/extract would be feasible? I just ran out of DW so I'll start the project Monday.

I've posted this question to the list several times without getting a straight answer. Why don't you try it and post your results? Andy From: edkas...@pacbell would heating CS harm it.
