ok. It's your chain. But the wax gets into the roller, actually the space between the roller and pin and the plates. The solidified wax isn't going to flow out of the hollow pin and into the space around it. Are you going to drill through the roller and the pin? Or disassemble every pin drill it and the reassemble the chain?
Edit; as far as waste goes it might waste .5 of a tablespoon filling in the pins on a chain.
