Do you know the composition of Molten wax? I'm curious to try it but in Canada it's quite expensive ~ 50 CAD.

"It took a clever engineer named Jason Smith to put us on the right path. Jason owns friction-facts.com and figured out that a waxed chain rivals the efficiency of a perpetual motion machine. He added a little PTFE (the non-stick coating on your frying pan) and molybdenum disulfide / MoS₂ (dry lube that’s hard to pronounce) to paraffin and published the info for everyone to see. Before we knew it we were “cooking chains” in our basement and experimenting with our own additives and techniques. Now our wax is made in large batches with high tech industrial machines the size of small cars."
