I was reading an article about chainwaxing just recently and one of the suggestions was to put the can of wax (using the chain removal technique) in a larger container of water (ie double-boiler technique). It was said that even at water boiling temperature (212F), there is no risk of the paraffin igniting. Further more this site (http://www.shamrockaffiliations.ws/P...ash_Points.php) states that the flash point of wax is 390F.
