I'm tired of getting black chain lube marks everywhere so wanted to give chain waxing a go. I don't have a garage so this will be a messy kitchen job.
What budget decent ultrasonic cleaner is suitable?

What crockpot/rice cooker is suitable?
MSW says "Slow cooker (a.k.a. crock pot, 1.5 to 2 qt. best size for individual use, choose round instead of oval shape, bottom should have diameter no smaller than 4 1/4”)" so around 1.8-2.2L size but I've seen smaller, 1.5L units - could they work? Smaller kit footprint is better.
GCN use paraffin wax - how does this compare with Molten Speed Wax?
