Great, I have to try this! With some adaptation to enhance the wife
acceptance factor, because I expect some trouble if I use a kitchen pot
for such a mechanic work. :-D

In fact, I think I will use a glass jar initially meant for jam, both as
a double boiler and to store afterwards. The glass will make the melting
slower of course, but it will resist the heat and it has a lid.

I am already using a jar full of white gas to clean the chain, so that
would just be another jar with a different label.

Now I wonder, after I have done my mixture and deep-waxed the chain, I
could add some solvent to keep that liquid, and use that later to
lubricate the chain without removing it, could I not? Once applied, can
I expect the solvent to evaporate, leaving only the paraffin wax and oil
mixture? I will try that on something else anyway, preparing a small
amount of that and leaving it on something metallic to see the result
after a couple of hours.
