Used Dupont Chainsaver Chain wax. How should I check for actual chain wear? The chain has 13k on it...think the wax may have cause stiff links?

Nothing wrong with uneven tension, it's there 90% of time due to production tolerances. You adjust slack at tightest rotation point.
Pulling chain away from sprocket is not good test. If you put
brand-new chain on old sprocket, guess what? It pulls away quite a bit!!! Is your
brand-new chain worn-out? Did those cheating lying creatins' sell you an old chain? No, it's just not good test.
Here's real way to determine your chain-wear,
measurements with NUMBERS!!!. Where
your numbers as
measured on
your bike falls within tolerance limits will tell you if your chain is 10%, or 50% or 90% worn. Until you actually
measure and come up with some
numbers, you'll never know
What is distance between 20-links on
your chain?
