My plan was this formula, bit of Teflon (very cheap) and some MoS2 ) cheap per gram, but minimum quantity means about 25 quid. Could send you a couple of grams if you would be interested, I'm only doing it for wear resistance and noise reduction so shouldn't be too fussed about it but black wax looks cool. Although that's also the reason I'm worried about ever cooking in it again.
Tijmen-
This is what I'd looked at:
https://tailwind-coaching.com/2016/08/09/friction-facts-bicycle-chain-lube-process/"If you're using MDS and/or PTFE, measure out the proper amount of each. You're looking for 1 gram of MDS and 5 grams of PTFE powder, and you can measure with a simple fine kitchen scale. To combat the mess (and the fact that MDS tends to permanently stain anything it touches) I measured out the lubricant powders into an old spice jar to keep the mess to a minimum.
Once the paraffin has liquefied, simply dump the lubricants into the hot wax. You'll want to vigorously stir in the powders to combine them as much as possible. Friction Facts recommends a battery powered milk frother, but I've made do with just an old chop-stick or a screwdriver."
Doesn't look like MoS2 Molybdenum Disulfide powder is too common in the UK. Wait, just found some on Amazon:

hippy
You could always just clean it if you wanted to cook with it. Or, if it's like mine, the pot bit is separate from the heating bit so just buy another pot for cooking with.
I've not bothered with any mix-ins yet. This is just a commuter chain. If I like the results my plan is to get some MSW for the race bikes but I may mix up my own if I can find decent ingredients. I really need to be saving my money for a Spanish villa that will have enough space to do all this shit properly.
