Another chain wax question - just using drip wax

Hi, everyone. Since I store my bikes inside my home, I've been considering waxing my chains for a while now... Seems like a nice way to keep things WAY cleaner.

But the idea of using a crock pot and all that headache..... no way, man.

So I was intrigued to read this article:

https://www.tobedetermined.cc/journa...wax-your-chain

(Read the section labeled "Simple")

The cool thing here is that once the chain is cleaned, this author doesn't even bother with the full-wax bath. They're just using the drip wax, applied every 200 miles or so.

Now, this is a level of commitment I could get behind. Spend a day cleaning my chains, then throw them back on the bike and just apply the drip wax and we're all set.

My question: Is anyone else using this method?? Only using drip wax and not bothering with the full wax bath? Any feedback to share?? Does this actually work 98% as well as the full wax bath?

Thanks!
