The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide would quickly prove to beat all currently available hot melt waxes in friction testing while being much faster and easier to apply. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2oz, 4oz, and 8oz bottles with the precision applicator tip for dripping on your chain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chain should be VERY clean and dry before applying, \u003ca title=\"How to Clean and Wax a Chain\" href=\"https:\/\/silca.cc\/pages\/how-to-apply-chain-lube\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHow to Clean and Wax a Chain\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply according to video and let dry for AT LEAST 12 hours for optimal results, 24 hours if applied in cool or humid weather conditions!  We recommend applying the lube AFTER your ride so it's ready for next time!  See Chart Below for more Info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Over time the WS2 will begin to settle to the bottom of the bottle, shake well before using!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section clearfix\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat temperature can I apply Super Secret Chain Coating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e41 - 95 °F \/ 5-35 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section clearfix\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat temperature is the best for storing the Super Secret Chain Coating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section clearfix\"\u003e41 - 86 °F \/ 5-30 °C \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section clearfix\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does Silca Super Secret Chain Lube last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section clearfix\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuper Secret Chain Lube should be reapplied every 200 miles or when it becomes noisy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section clearfix\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much lube should I put on my chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne drop per link while turning the cranks in reverse will give a full coating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs wet or dry chain lube better?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWax lubricant is the best option in most scenarios but Wet Lube is significantly better in all conditions compared to dry lube\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section clearfix\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to correctly apply Super Secret Chain Lube?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross chain as much as possible and apply one drop per link while rotating the chain backwards on a clean\/dry chain.  The same application can be done to a previously waxed chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/em\u003e Field tests have determined that prolonged exposure to below-freezing temperatures, can cause viscosity breakdown to the Super Secret Chain Lube.
