I don't understand what you mean here though. If you have the chain threaded on the horizontal part of a bent spoke (or coat hanger or any other wire) and hold the whole thing by the vertical part of the 'J' shape, then your hands should not get anywhere near anything hot? It's usually best to just hang the chain up to completely cool, then break it off the hanger, break the links, and install. So it makes sense to make a little hook at the top of the 'J' and, if possible, just hang it right above the pot so it can drip into the pot and cool.
The chain doesn't stay un-kinked during the swirling process - just a couple little movements to assure the wax is everywhere - in the liquid hot wax. I don't like the idea of a wildly swinging hot and drippy chain, even in my dirty garage. I don't leave the spoke (or wire) attached while the chain is in the wax.
