If the chain is resting on the bottom of the pot, you could get some dirt on the chain. However, dirt really isn’t going to “suspend” in the wax for a couple of reasons. First the dirt has a far greater density than the wax. Second, more importantly, there shouldn’t be all that much dirt sticking to a waxed chain to begin with. Oil serves as a fluid that will trap dirt and grit. Wax doesn’t hang onto the dirt all that well.
Easy solution to avoid any grit in the bottom of the pot would be to put something in the wax pot to keep the chain off the bottom.
