Let the lube soak for a couple of minutes, then wipe off the excess with a rag.
As far as which lube? Any is better than none.
should i be worried that i have never broken a chain?

i have little girl legs, apparently. damn..i really want to snap a chain on a big uphill..but i'm usually pushing my bike
