Any of you old farts use to boil your chain in a bucket mixture of kerosene and oil, back in the day before o-ring chains?

Not really a boil but a coffee can on a hot plate.

I used to use a product called “Linklife” which was a graphite grease that you placed the coiled chain on and then put it in the oven for the grease to melt and permeate the chain. After that, you had to hang the chain up to cool and before you ask, yes, I did manage to spill the whole lot inside the oven one day..... I was not too popular with my parents for some time afterwards......!
