I got a cheapie off amazon for $12 (Canadian pesos) on the Prime promotion. Even if you could produce said product, figure out a way to keep excess molten wax off everything, and turn a profit to make it worth while selling them for <$15 a unit, I'd argue you're wasting your time.
I think you're right. My memory is more fresh with regard to pulling off a filthy oiled chain with oil sludge. 20-30 years ago during my waxing period, it was faster, and that was using a chain tool instead of the quicker master links now used on narrow chains. It's the oily sludge that slows things down.
