Interesting what happened with you. First I've heard of any issues with hot wax, silca or otherwise.
For waxing, you want to actually clean your chain before re-applying wax. It sounds like there's particle build up which re-waxing isn't going to address without a clean. A thing I did was get a cheap sonic cleaner off of Amazon, fill it with silca chain stripper, and now I just do a 15m sonic clean before re-waxing. You have to clean out the chain stripper fluid by running it through a coffee filter to make it last a few months but the chain itself gets suuuuuper clean prior to waxing. No noise for the 300 or so miles of use.
yeah thats probably a good idea. In the silca videos, they said said wipe it off and then put it back in the wax... so thats what ive been doing.
@@faultlinegravel Check out OZ Cycle newest wax video also. He shows filtering the hot wax through N95 mask to get contaminants out of the wax.
