How Do I Untangle My Chain?

To safely untangle your chain without damage, you will need two sewing needles or pins and a dab of oil, such as baby oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil. Place your chain on a flat surface, as holding it may tangle it further, unclasp the chain, and rub the knot with a little bit of oil. Using the two needles, loosen the center of the knot. When the knot starts to expand, follow the chain, moving each piece as you go. Go slowly – patience is key! Once your chain is tangle-free, dip the oily part in a mixture of warm water and mild soap and dry thoroughly.
