Lubricating a Bicycle Chain using Paraffin

Step 4Dipping the chain

Dipping the chain
This is pretty obvious. The wax and heater are hot, so be careful. Lower the chain into the wax container until it's fully submerged. Hook the wire over the edge of the wax container so it'll be easy to grab when you retrieve it. See the picture.

Leave the chain in the wax for 4 - 6 minutes. You shouldn't see any little bubbles coming to the surface of the wax. You want the chain to get nice and warm, and to expand to allow the paraffin to penetrate.
