I have an issue where a piece of rebar or whatever is rusting. I will get to it eventually. QUESTION : is the rust process either slowed or accelerated if - air can get to it vs. -being continually submerged vs. - sometimes under water & sometimes exposed to air depending on the water level,
Or are all these factors negligible insofar as the rate/speed/qty of rust produced?
Thanks

Cool, glad I asked & kind of what I thought. I have an option as to where I can keep the water level.
Thanks for the help
