Use a spray bottle with trisodium phosphate TSP and water mix in solution. As soon as you pull the part out of the molasses or vinegar, give it a healthy rinse with the water/TSP mixture and let drip dry inside your shop. Once its dry you can primer it within a few days. It wont flash rust quickly if you spray it down this way. I left parts i had dunked and rinsed with the water/TSP mix on my workbench for almost a year, and very little rust started in that time.
