One, I have used solvent based wax lubricants for more than 20 years. I have used hot wax before that but solvent based wax is easier to apply and the the results are the same.
Two. I know a thing or two about mixtures and chemicals.
Three. It wouldn’t matter if candle wax were 10% oil…which is isn’t…it would still be a solid and wouldn’t attract grit nor would it allow grit to penetrate into the chain because it
is solid.
Four. I
did do my home work about candle wax and food grade wax. That’s where I came up with the values I posted.
Five. I am a chemist by education, training, and experience. I also am a bicycle mechanic by calling. I know how things work and, if I don’t, I figure out how they work.
Six. Know your audience before you go calling them stupid.
Seven. Especially don’t go calling someone “stupid” if you can compose a paragraph.
