To successfully reapply lube to these areas after any decent cleaning, you need to warm the chain up and warm up the THIN lube you are using. Use a hot plate or the stove when the missus isn't looking. It just needs to be hot to the touch (both the lube AND the chain). Mix the two and let cool. Serves 6.

You must be pulling our collective legs! Warm up flammable white spirit on the stove? Why not just get a flame thrower warmed up?
