Keep it hot for a while to insure all the water is gone and then relube and see if that does it.

BTW, Chain-L is a very good lube and did quite nicely in a major lube comparison test in the most recent issue of Velo (aka VeloNews) magazine.
Point noted on heating the chain. But I did use compressed air after rinsing the chain ... blew out the chain for an extended period of time. Probably not better than heat, but not a bad option.
