A tablespoon in one gallon will show results on rust within a couple of hours of soaking. Using towels would seem to be a little slower since the smaller voluime of acid is becoming neutralized by it's own progress you could say.
I treated my Pro Tour using vinegar on cloth rags, wrapped with old foil and plastic remnants from my kitchen trash to prevent drying. I left it overnight which really cleaned up the frame at the cable clamps.
