I (and several others) discussed it a few months ago.
Perhaps you weren't on the net then?

That's no problem--just put the can on the floor and lower the chain
into the can on a string.  Let the chain sit in the can for a few
moments, and then use the string to pull it out.  Tie the string to
something so that the chain hangs above the can, and let it hang until
the paraffin hardens.
