No prob. I have been using that process quite abit lately, it's so much easier than wirewheel or grinding.

I never really timed it, I'd usually throw a part in overnight, move/reposition it in the morning and if it was good that night go with it if not reposition again.

We used salt water when we did my cousins gas tank on his bike. It worked really good. Maybe too good. Either that or the rust was just that bad.
