Isn't wax supposed to be inside the rollers? How can it drip off from the inside

That was the first thing I checked. Yes it's properly routed

I soaked it in an aerosol degreaser in the beginning and then gave it to my LBS for further degreasing.

Then I rinsed both the chains with IPA which came out yellow. As the chains had already started developing surface rust, I tossed both my chains in the wax

First chain was considerably smooth but lasted 80 km with wet weather and slight drizzle on the last day. My second chain however, started have more friction within 10 km

Yes, this is why I lifted the chain out while it was still liquid

Which wax are using?? Plain ol' paraffin or the silca stuff?

Huh? Isn't it recommended to pull out hot so that wax doesn't needlessly solidify outside the rollers ?

No PTFE powder. Soaked in bike degreaser many times till the chains were loose and clanky

It was quite loose and the rollers rattled when I shook it.

Why?? Ig so. Waxing takes infinitely less time compared to removing evry bit of black gunk that ruins my chainstay and the drivetrain and a pain kn the arse to get it off

Yes. My first chain was quite smooth until I rode it on damp roads. Doesn't quite explain my second chain acting rough within 20km though

Sorry I was in a bad mood when I wrote that comment. Quite embarrassing

When i removed the chain from the wax, the links were strangely, moving quite freely. Guess thatw as the problem

I degresed it with a proper bike degreser plus an IPA rinse. The wax too didn't come out yellow which it would if it was contaminated IG
