Dwell time can range from 30 minutes to 24 hours and depends on the amount of rust scale and temperature. Warmer temperatures increase working speed and may reduce dwell time. Always complete a test patch to determine the right dwell time for the surface and level of rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen left for extended periods, DeRUST™ Gel hardens into a protective crust that can help protect the treated surface during transport or storage.
