Never actually tried the hot wax chain thing, but the OP mentioned beeswax. I think beeswax would be a bad idea.. it's much stickier than paraffin wax. It's better as a thread locker than as a lubricant.
Which is why I like White Lightening. I think it must be soap and kerosene.
I did the soap thing. There must have been a few of us
way back then.
You could buy a master link (two little tiny screws instead of pins) that eased the job of breaking the chain over and over.
