Ahhhh! The old tin of 'Link-Life' graphite grease.
Pop in on the stove after washing the chain in Petrol or Paraffin, dry the chain and roll the chain up into a circle and lay it on top of the Link-Life and watch it slowly sink as the stuff warmed up.
Grab the tin with two pairs of mole grips and get the f--k outa there before you mum started screaming what the hell are you doing in there your stinking the place out.
Hang the chain over the nail in the fence post and allow the Link-Life to drip back into the tin, ready for the next gauntlet run in your mums kitchen.
You reminded me of it Sharpie with your comment.
It was good stuff and set on the chain as it cooled down.
Going to look on eGay to see if you can still get the stuff.
The chain lube i use is either Motul or Motorex.
