"Switch the heater off and leave the chain in situ for 5-10 mins depending on ambient conditions. Otherwise all that wax will just pour out of every crevice. That bit sounds daft, but I have noticed that it does make a difference with the longevity."

Yeah, but I'm already letting it cool to 50C which takes way longer than 5-10min. That's why I didn't get what you were pointing out.

I wonder if dirty paraffin has any impact on adhesion.

Mine probably cools faster as I use a beauty therapy wax pot heater. Once done I take the pot out of the heater. I’ve never stuck a thermostat in the wax, I just try to leave it as long as I can until I think it’s time to remove.
