Colored chain wax

This looks both fun when fresh under pretty lights and terrible to maintain at the same time. Not to mention it won't look nearly as good outside of a studio but still fun!

I think we used to add crayons to Gulf wax when we made candles (back in the last millenium).

Its been out a while. Actually its a decent product. If you are a chain waxer its a good product to have in case of emergency's when you need some was added to the chain. Its not nearly as good as the MSW waxing process but it does work in a pinch. I know this is going to sound crazy but stuff smells good too! I carry a stick when I travel with the bike so I don't have to resort to lubricants and mess up the drive chain with oils and such.

Its kind of spendy but it does what is supposed to do!

I'm 54. I went to an arty elementary school. We definitely did that.

That is pretty neat, but aren't colored bike chains already a thing? I am pretty sure I've seen them in a bike shop before.
