im actually about to do an art project on this. ive been researching it and it says that if you apply a solution of half hydrogen peroxide half vinegar and a pinch of salt you should get a uniform thick layer of rust in about 5 min. heating the iron will make the reaction occur faster. in order to make it stay you need to apply a finish.
