I've taken to using boiling water to strip off the old wax before re-coating so I can keep my wax cleaner. I've also bought some higher quality paraffin to see if that makes any difference when I run out of the current stuff.
I need to prep a new chain for the Mason so I'm going to use a couple of jars to do a primary strip of factory lube before using the ultrasonic. Or I'll just put the jars with degreaser in the ultrasonic full of water to save having to use so much degreaser.

I’ll dive into his articles. But I’m already realising that obviously nothing is ever going to truly compare to a hot wax.
I’ve been cleaning my chains with a combination of putting them in an ikea sandwich bag with white spirits and hot soapy water in the kitchen sink. Seeing a chain in the sink delights my wife.
I’ve got a slow cooker that hasn’t been used for years, so it might as well be used for something.
