If I could find the popcorn smiley, I'd post it :)

Anyway. Personally, I think it's safe but ridiculously expensive. Some maintain it's dangerous. WD40 are on the fence. But since paraffin's incredibly cheap, I just avoid the issue and use paraffin as recommended by the manufacturers.

Yeah use paraffin paul. I use white spirit when I have nothing else.

Remove rear wheel and just leave the chain to soak for an hour and scrub with toothbrush then move chain around to next part and leave to soak
