My chains actually for a shell as soon as a drop them in the wax that then has to remelt and thats when I know its close to ready. Then a swish around a couple times to distribute the particulates(molten speed wax) then pull.
I've also had good success with Rock N Roll gold which is a very thin lube that you wipe off completely. I don't like a bunch of extra wax on the chain that ends up flaking off. My process is fast and painless and I don't mind changing chains a little more frequently.
