I'm beginning to believe that deep rust can't happen overnight, as I'm only seeing surface rust with the different things I've tried. But a strong acid, like hydrochloric or sulfuric would eat thru the metal rather quickly?

So a torch it, wet it with water, and/or salt and an acid, and repeat? That will continue to oxidize and eat thru that much steel?

I want to make a sheet of 1/4" steel rust through completely in a short amount of time (2-3 weeks). What is the best way to accomplish this, if possible?
