I skip the rust box entirely except for one very recalcitrant barrel. I alow 12 hrs between application and the boil and card. This works well with my life style. Once in the morning before leaving for the office, once in the evening around dinner time. If I were to leave it in a rust box for this long it would begin to pit.
