Finding molten speed wax or food grade paraffin wax in denmark/europe

[jlok]

I've been using MSW for about a year and love it for the fastest chain as well as never getting my hands dirty when working on the drive train. I rotate through 3 chains. Do all three at once, about once a month. I tend to let each chain go about 500 miles each, but our roads are pretty clean and I rarely ride in the rain.

Recently I got an ultrasonic cleaner to chean the chains after their first wax & use using the MSW instructions here https://moltenspeedwax.com/pages/ultras ... your-chain.

Has anyone tried drying their chains in the oven after the ultrasonic cleaning. I found using an air compressor somewhat tedious and I think it somewhat variable depending on your technique. I noticed that an oven was used in this GCN / MucOff video. https://youtu.be/xSCXyE5cnFo

I'm thinking 20 min at 250 deg F would do the trick (since water evaporates at 212 deg F).

Hair dryer would be handy.

My hack for both drying the chain off initially and also curing the wax faster (obviously not straight out the pot).

@choochoo46,

I wouldn't put anything like my bike bits into appliances I'll cook my food with. A hair dryer or a hot air gun set at 100 degrees will do nicely.

yeah, I've used both a hair dryer and hot air gun, but I'm lazy. And I rationalize it that I won't consistently heat the entire chain. I have an old toaster oven I don't use anymore that seems perfect suited to the job!

If it's not used anymore for food stuff... Sure it a good way to repurpose it lol.

Even at 80 to 90 degrees it'll will surely remove the water

I faced a similar situation when looking for paraffin wax for a personal project. Initially, I struggled to find it locally, but then I turned to online stores specialising in beauty and wellness products. These stores had paraffin wax in stock, which might be a viable option for your needs.

My experience centred around learning how to use paraffin wax to treat dry and damaged hair. It wasn't straightforward at first. After some research, I learned the proper method: melting the wax and mixing it with a nourishing oil like jojoba or coconut. Applying this mixture to the damaged areas of my hair and leaving it for about 10 minutes before washing it out made a difference.
