Default Alterative Lubricant

Just thought of a way to avoid needing grease for a chain-drive bike or motorcycle--get a paraffin candle and grate it into small particles, grind up the graphite from numerous pencils and combine. Melt in a double boiler and brush the mixture into the drive chain. Rotate the chain through its path, and repeat until all crevices have been treated.
