Paraffin wax or Paraffin Oil? I use a mix of Wax and Oil, so it makes a soft wax on my bike chain. Adding more oil again would continue to soften it. You can also add other solvents that evaporate to act as a medium to transport the solution, it will then harden ones the solvents evaporate. Turning back into the waxy/oily solution you started with

Everything about the video and the process is great, but man, watching you put down tape, you are a master. going around those curves like it's nothing, impressive.
@RonCovell4 жыл бұрын
Just to be sure we're on the same page, I speed up the action in my videos as much as I can, so much of the tape application was done at 4x or 6x actual speed.

@@RonCovell hahahaha oh I know it's sped up, but even at a slower speed you're doing it faster than I ever could, I'd be taking off, doing it again, and again, then still probably again.
