If you are able to install the chain on the bike, that’s all you need to do.
This old batch of wax feels gummy now. Probably because I don't clean the chain thoroughly between dipping in the crock pot. After about three years it's grimy.
I'm going to start over with a fresh batch of Gulf wax after the PTFE powder arrives.
