I let mine air dry - hanging in the sun preferrably. The mineral spirits evaporate and the chain drys fairly quickly. Then I spray it lightly with WD-40 till I need it as I rotate two chains. I neglected to spray one with WD-40 once and it started to rust hanging in the garage after a mineral spirit soaking.
