We actually weighed it. If you clean your chain with boiling water, let it dry and then wax, you could get around 62 treatments and still have 100g (3.5oz) left in the pot to guarantee full immersion of the chain. It's only a matter of how much you contaminate the wax or how good you clean the chain with boiling water prior to every waxing. Wax will still last the same number of applications regardless of cleaning, but if you contaminate the wax too much, it will no longer be as effective.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e HOW TO LUBRICATE YOUR CHAIN WITH FLEXIBLE GRAPHENWAX ®\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e FIRST CHAIN PREPARATION: Take the chain off the bike or use brand new chain and clean it using a solvent (like White Spirit or mineral turps) by immersing the chain completely in the solvent for 20-60min using the poly bag that was delivered with the wax (Use gloves). Shake the bag with chain for 2min at the end. Take chain out and let it fully dry (2-12h). Optionally you can rinse the chain at this point with 98% alcohol to remove any remaining residue. Once the chain is dry you can apply the lube normally like instructed below. Solvent cleaning is only needed for the first time to remove the oils.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1. After that , If the chain is dirty, you can clean it by simply pouring hot water on the chain and let it dry Cleaning the chain this way doesn't contaminate the wax in crockpot, making it useful for longer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 2. Melt the GRAPHENwax ® in the crockpot (slow cooker) in usual manner on medium heat. Melt it completely. Our wax melts at around 70°C (160°F) but you should heat it to around 90-100°C (194-212°F)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 3. Immerse the chain into the molten wax and wait until the wax buildup on the chain melts again. Best way to do this is to use wire metal clothes hanger by threading both ends of chain on the hanger.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 4. Agitate the chain gently (up, down, left right) in the liquid wax (using the coat hanger) for about 3-5min to make sure that the wax goes into the pins.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 5. Take the chain out, hang it, then gently wipe the excess of the wax from the chain side plates and let it cool for about 15min.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 5.

Never leave working crockpot unattended. After use, turn the crockpot off and make sure the still hot melted wax is not reachable by children or other unauthorized people. Use only crockpot (slow cooker) to melt the wax. Never use oven, microwave or stove. Never exceed the temperature of 100°C (212°F). Never expose to open flame. Keep away from children.

NanoPlatelet WS2 has less than 1\/3 the dynamic coefficient of friction of PTFE and 1\/4 that of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSILCA Super Secret Chain lube started out as a project to develop the fastest Hot-Melt wax lubricant available more than a year ago.  Josh has been recommending Hot Melt Wax and helping Pro cyclists and triathletes wax chains for years and wanted to bring his lubricant formula to our customers, the challenge was how to consistently melt, dip and agitate the chain across different crockpot designs and temperatures.  The project took a fascinating turn from the world of IndyCar when josh was introduced to a group that had developed a technology to put micro-scale wax powders into a solution that was quick drying and forms a coating that is indiscernible from hot melt dipping. The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide would quickly prove to beat all currently available hot melt waxes in friction testing while being much faster and easier to apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBest of all perhaps is that this formula would prove to be very environmentally friendly, utilizing 4 different types of wax, nano platelets of WS2 (Tungsten Disulfide), and mild alcohol to act as a carrier.  This same alcohol is used in the SILCA Gear Wipes, making them a perfect product to clean and remove Secret Chain Lube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e4oz. \/ 118ml bottle with precision applicator tip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe chain should be very clean and dry before applying (CyclingTips has an Awesome Chain Cleaning Guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cyclingtips.com\/2018\/05\/chain-cleaning-and-maintenance-how-to\/\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eApply according to video and let dry for at least 30 Minutes!  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSILCA recommend using after your ride so it's ready for next time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silca","offers":[{"title":"120ml (4oz)","offer_id":54043299020995,"sku":"SI-186243","price":43.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"240ml (8oz)","offer_id":54043299053763,"sku":"SI-186304","price":72.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"355ml (12 oz)","offer_id":54043299086531,"sku":"SI-186311","price":89.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"59ml (2oz)","offer_id":54043299119299,"sku":"SI162048","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/2609\/5299\/files\/SI-186243.jpg?v=1782983103"},{"product_id":"silca-super-secret-starter-pack-stripper","title":"Silca Super Secret Starter Pack Stripper","description":"\u003cp\u003eCompletely strip and prep your chain for wax in 10 minutes.
