Don't use it mate, just put more effort into getting her warmed up. you'll have a much better, longer time for it. True mate, would I lie to you?

As a chain lube?
I tried it, ruined my chain in 3,000 k's.
It's slippery but it doesn't stay where it should, liquid stuff seems to flow back to the crucial spots. Dry lube seems to disappear from where its needed after a running cycle.

was your chain an "o"ring chain?
your probably right as i suspect its really only any good for open gears ,old style chains and places that have enuf room for the stuff to get in
