Interesting, would not have thought to treat a mesh bracelet. Usually with these types of chain lube you would not want to leave overnight. They are meant to put on, work into the joint, clean grime away, repeat until lube is not black. On my bracelet that I just got and treated it was still blackish after three applications so no wonder these rep bracelets feel like crap, they're full of it! I use a different brand and they reccomend to work in and let sit for 10min then wipe clean. These lubes are basically a carrier with a petroleum distillate (wax type substance) suspended in it that is meant to evaporate (carrier) and leave the solid wax behind to work as a lube. Think of it as a wet way to apply a dry lubricant.
