first be very careful wear a respirator and eye protection and heavy rubber gloves

I use 100% if it will cover the entire piece, otherwise for bigger pieces I just use a garden hose and keep poring water in the container until the entire piece is submerged, it is not an exact science

I put a lid on what ever plastic container I am using, and I do it outside not indoors

at 100% I dip for a couple hours, when I add water it can be in there over night or for a couple days, take the metal out from time to time to check on it to see if it is done if all the rust is gone, maybe hose it off check it and put it back in
