Hot wax - Does it work?

different story if it is something you play with yes.

But I see the same with reloading rifle ammo. there is a massive push to get everyone reloading, chasing the lands, looking for nodes etc etc etc. You see posts like you won't have accuracy with factory ammo, you need to reload.

Meanwhile people have been, and will continue putting meat in the freezer on factory ammo with ease. I ran out of time to load ammo a few wees ago for first hunt of the season so I bought factory ammo and spent a few days on the range with it and then had a very successful hunt. I would far prefer spending time on the range with factory ammo than losing range time trying to sort out reloads in a rush.
This weekend I went and loaded up 100rounds to get me through the season and probably next year but I did that to save money and because I enjoy experimenting and tinkering. 

 

Same as hot wax-

Left right and center you see posts saying use hot wax/dipping chains, its better, normal lube is obsolete and useless and then you see guys dropping money on pots, spending hours and stuff for essentially a tiny gain. They would be better off spending the time/money on an indoor trainer where returns are bigger.

Clean your chain, lube regularly and you get 95% there with ease and convenience.
If you want to tinker go for it.

I Agree with everything you said. Indoor trainer is a game changer..

 

I looked into wax and decided against the faf.. and I had just bought a big thing of squirt.. still using the quirt and loving it so not in a hurry to tinker on this one but I will  one day

*I love factory ammo, reloading I wouldn’t touch.. 

oh but also I wouldn’t even consider wax if I didn’t randomly find my wife’s one at her mothers house 🤷🏼‍♂️.. although the startup costs between waxing and reloading are not really comparable 🤣🤣
