Just to add to Alex's very true method, if you have no nice warm sun , which north America dose'nt at the moment, put it in the oven !!, DON'T bake that tasty little morsel into next century,but just on a nice LOW temp, It'll dry it right out :thumbup: Disclaimer : DO not let the wife catch you putting your bicycle chain in the oven, it dose'nt matter to her HOW clean it is, and she will only think that you have completely lost it this time and it will all end up in tears !!
