SilcaChain Waxing System(Return to Product Page)

I have been waxing my chains for years now with a basic crockpot

This adds the ability to set the right temp and it warms much quicker. I also love the concept of getting the chain to dry on top of it but the cable broke after just second use. Now it's time to test silca support

I've used the Silca Chain Waxing System twice on my Ultegra 11- speed chain and am pleased. It appears to be made of good quality materials. It simplifies a fussy, messy process which means I'll wax my chain more frequently. That should increase chain life, and given the cost of a new chain probably make it worth the price.

This is so much easier than my hot pot system and keeps everything compact.

Sure, this is just an expensive crockpot, but it does a better job of managing temperature than a normal crockpot, plus it's the perfect size.

Nice piece of kit for application of Hot Wax products with excellent temperature control.

Can't feel any efficiency gains, but seems to last longer than drip wax. However, I will continue to use Smoove for indoors trainer due to wax residue that tend to fall off.

I decided to buy the Silca Chain waxing system to replace my old crock pot. I am so glad I did, much quicker to heat up and so much more convenient. No regrets.

This product makes chain waxing much easier and less messy.

Easy to use. Clean and simple. I run two alternating chains and it make for smooth efficient rides

This system makes waxing simple & easy. Worth full price, but even better to get a deal from BTD. If you're thinking of making the change to wax, order this now!

Had been on the fence about waxed chains. This thing makes it really easy. I love it.

Silca wax system is very easy to use, great design

I've been waxing chains for years, long before wax blends became mainstream, using a basic second-hand slow cooker that worked surprisingly well. After becoming a fan of Silca's Secret Chain Hot Melt Wax, I decided to try their full waxing system.

While the price is hard to justify - especially when a cheap slow cooker does 95% of the job - the one standout feature that makes a difference is the temperature control. The Silca pot maintains a noticeably lower, more consistent temperature, resulting in thicker wax coverage that doesn't drip off as quickly when the chain is hung to dry.

That said, the pot is smaller than expected, and the included plastic lid feels cheap (thankfully, my old glass lid fits perfectly). In the end, this is a luxury item: unnecessary, but nice to have.

If you're particular about your setup and have the budget, the Silca system is worth considering for its control and consistency. Otherwise, a basic slow cooker will serve you just fine.

I was always reluctant and hesitant to consider converting to waxing chains. Not anymore! This system makes it so easy and convenient. I'm a convert now. No more messy, greasy, oily drivetrains for me.

Makes waxing so easy. Just set temperature and wait for wax to melt. The built in chain holder makes drying the chain very easy. Unit is very compact, so a lot of space is not required when using.

There are a lot of terrible crockpots out there that heat unevenly and slowly, Silca did a great job here. Easy to use, looks good.
