That was about 20 minutes in the "crock pot" in approx a 60-40 (or so) mix lemon juice to water. DO IT OUTSIDE!!!! let the mix get hot in the crock then drop it in, go check it about 10 mins into the process just to see how fast its cleaning and you'll be able to gauge how long it will need to stay. When you are happy with the result, pull it and rinse it in water, blow it out/off with the air house and I spray my stuff with LPS-1 to protect it. IF its heavy corrosion then you can increase ratio of lemon juice to water and vice versa if its less corrosion then ease up on the ratio. Good luck
