clean and dry teh chain then immerse/soak the chain in it for an hour or so and then let drip dry?

No need to soak it just apply it liberally, spin the pedals round a bit & then wipe off as much as you can

i know about the application when fitted to the bike. Just wondred if it would be more prudent to soak it, less waste

Can't see what difference it'll make – give it a try & report back any benefits

i have considered the same thing and would assume that it would guarantee better, more penetrative, coverage. so would have thought it would be a good idea, if one could be bothered. i also thought that for this reason it might be an idea to fill a chain cleaner with it?

Applying whilst turning pedals helps the lube work between the rollers as they get moved over the sprockets……

I always wondered about soaking my chain in lube also. Lube prices are extortionate if people are honest, so as rr says less waste?

Didn't someone like rohloff use to make a tin of wax lube that was melted on the stove before you dunked your chain in it?

Loads of things like that marketed at motorbike riders
