There's still plenty more to do, but she's crossed the hurdle between crusty and patina. Being the nut that I am I wanted to try to make no-sling chain lube. I diluted some moly fortified grease with mineral spirits and soaked the chain. I probably rode it a bit too soon and it did sling, but I'll see how it goes after the spirits fully evaporate. The crusty old chain cleaned up pretty well. Lots of hot bubble bathing in a sonic cleaner, another buzz bath in EvapoRust instead of degreaser, then a final degrease and thorough rinsing. After the final rinse I hit it with compressed air then stuck it in the toaster oven at 350 to make sure it was dry all the way through. I let it cool to handling temp then stuck it in the lube bag for a soaking.
