Rusting time is very dependent on humidity levels too.....you might get away with a 6 hour first rust in the Mojave desert, but anywhere else, its too long. It's 95 degrees and 70% humidity here in SC today....if I did a 6 hour first rust cycle on bare metal today, there would be actual fine pitting all over it .
