Are you sure a lot of that isn't MoS2?

Not yet.

Mine probably cools faster as I use a beauty therapy wax pot heater. Once done I take the pot out of the heater. I’ve never stuck a thermostat in the wax, I just try to leave it as long as I can until I think it’s time to remove.

"Switch the heater off and leave the chain in situ for 5-10 mins depending on ambient conditions. Otherwise all that wax will just pour out of every crevice. That bit sounds daft, but I have noticed that it does make a difference with the longevity."

I've already tried letting the wax cool down to 50C to let it accumulate better but perhaps it needs to be cooler?

Future cleans will obviously be easier as there will be less shit on the chain.

I found where I got it from, he's put his prices up to! Now £23 for 30g!

But Googling 'Piano Teflon Powder' brings this up, enjoy.....

I did. It took slightly longer to run in. And it might have lasted for less, although can't be 100% as adding the extra ingredients coincided with also leaving the chain in the wax for a sustained period after the heater was switched off, to help** with not having the wax run straight out of where it was supposed to stay.

I got my MOS2 from eBay. Cost me £8 for 50g, he's put his prices up since, must be all these DIY waxers!
As for the teflon powder, I didn't fancy ordering from China and having the Old Bill knocking on my door thinking it was marching powder, so got some from a company who specialise in piano servicing and parts, as it's used on the hammers (or whatever the fcuk they are called). Cost me about £15 for 25g IIRC.
