Default unsiezing track

I have managed to aquire enough track to fit-out another carrier but it is siezed fairly badly. The few links I have managed to un-sieze to see if it is useable have come up ok, but using an oxy to free up each individual link would be an expensive way to tackle it. I have heard quite a few methods-

Put it in a big bonfire
Soak in molasses & water mix
soak in brown vinegar
Alkaline bath with electrical current
soak in acid
soak in 205 ltr drum of hot alkaline floor cleaner with a gas burner underneath
soak in drum full of diesel fuel

Who has actually used any of these methods & how well did they work.?????Some of the links will be trash when freed but more than 1/2 look like they have had little wear, bieng stored outside is what has done the damage. Hate to scrap the lot when I don't have enough to do my Vickers project, if 1/2 of it is salvageable I will have enough...
