I do try to put the chain in on top of cold wax, or if not to leave it in for 30 min so its the same temp as the wax.
Wax works ok in the wet, but I'd likely rewax at first opportunity. It doesn't do well with wet and road grit.

Hi Greg,
I’m not an expert by any means, but the different online/YouTube stuff I have seen suggest that taking the chain out just before it starts to go back to solid leaves more wax inside the rollers. Taking them out very hot allows more of the wax to flow out.
I don’t know if it makes a difference, but makes sense to my tiny brain. I put them in around 170F for a few minutes, swirl a bit then turn the crockpot off and with my IR thermometer take them out around 150F. Seems like about 145F the chain slots get clogged up with the wax as it has gotten too cold.
