I used to just dump it into the hotpot. Now, I'll poor boiling water on it to strip off the grip and then dump it into the wax. (and scrape the wax puck before melting each time, yeah)
I've also got some Squirt I've been using. I don't think it last as long as paraffin which is annoying and it tends to drop off in black chunks so it's more like having oiled a chain which makes it less useful.

I switched to drip-waxing the chain on my road & TT bikes, but considering going all in with hot waxing.
Question: After grimy rainy rides , how do you rewax the chain? Do you just give it a good wipe and it goes into the hot wax, and you rinse it around? And then the grime settles on the bottom of the wax puck (as I could see on the previous pages), you just scrape it off, and happy days?
