FAQ

Does the SILCA Chain Waxing System include wax?

No. The SILCA Chain Waxing System includes the wax warmer, drip stand, and cable coupler only. Wax is sold separately, and SILCA Secret Chain Blend is the intended pairing.

Do I need to strip a new chain before waxing?

Yes, a new chain's factory grease needs to be removed for the wax to adhere. SILCA StripChip converts factory grease right in the wax pot with no liquid degreasing, and SILCA Ultimate Chain Stripper is the traditional liquid prep option. Both are sold separately.

Why a PID controller instead of a crock pot thermostat?

A PID controller holds temperature more precisely than a standard crock pot thermostat, which can overshoot and overheat the wax. SILCA recommends heating to 125C to melt quickly, then dropping to 75C for waxing, which the PID control makes possible.

Best For

Road and gravel riders committed to a hot wax drivetrain who want a purpose-built, temperature-controlled melter over a repurposed crock pot, including anyone waxing multiple chains in rotation who wants a clean, efficient setup.
