How do you lube it?

[ifitis22]

what do you do if you already used patroliam jelly?

[DanieLDude1554]

@ifitis22

get it outta there

[seanar24]

hey Daniel, i have really enjoyed viewing your vidoe's, they are very helpful, though i do not have a rubix cube with screw spring structure. Where abouts can i find a rubix cube like yours :D

[iCallForDutyTwo]

@seanar24 go to lubixcube . com (i put spaces or else it would be an error) and click purchase at the top of the page. scroll down to the lubix fusion, and buy it. NOT ANYTHING ELSE! the FUSION IS AMAZING! i know its a bit pricy, but it is the best. when you buy it, dont touch the lube inside, or it will mess it up. if you are curious, the green pieces on the inside are torpedoes, which help it stay together while speeding it up.

[seanar24]

@iCallForDutyTwo Cheers mate, bought one just now.

Thx alot :D

do you need to lube a speed cube?

[DanieLDude1554]

@jakethelake891

all speed cubes should be lubed. some will come lubed when you buy them, but if not you should definitely lube them yourself.

[mobradovic00]

@DanieLDude1554 not really :P

I boght a dayan guhong and its awesome without lube

[DanieLDude1554]

@mobradovic00

many preassembled dayan cubes come lubed from the factory. so unless you bought a DIY kit, it's very likely it already had lube in it.

@DanieLDude1554 diy

[MrDarki10]

@DanieLDude1554 i use my middle finger for D is that good or not??

[MrRuix]

@TheComputerNerd5 Relax, this is the fastest way. And he only does that on the R and L Face.

[kennykart123]

is it a DIY cube?

[MrRubix3]

omg..lol...i used WD-40 on my cube 0_0..does that melt the plastic?

[kimbo119slice]

help:, it seems you move them so fast but i always get stuck because the side did not rotate all the way and it will not move so i have to stop and make sure the cube is alligned perfectly, tips ??

[DanieLDude1554]

@kimbo119slice

lube it, or loosen it.

if you're over shooting the turn there are things that your fingers can do to correct it but if you're under shooting it its probably because the cube isn't well lubed (silicone). if you know for sure that it is well lubed, than loosen it up so that you can cut through the corner regardless of whether the sides are perfectly lined up. if your cubes doesn't have screw spring structure and you can't loosen it there's not much you can do. hope this helps

[003fr33]

thanks. I think.

all i want to know is is that a v-cube or what type is it

[003fr33]

what type of rubik's cube is that

[DanieLDude1554]

@003fr33

cube4you A

[iseldoff]

if you read the back of the crc can in big bold letters it says NOT FOR USE ON PLASTIC lol but hey i just got a can today and used it for the firt time and it works great i dont understand

[VinnytheFox]

@iseldoff Well... I don't know how you can't get that some oil based sprays can slowly melt plastic. Its pretty simple there isel ..doff.

[lizardmen123]

i used silicone spray , hr 260 if that says something and my rubik;s cube sucks now. I used vaseline first and it was much better

[DanieLDude1554]

@lizardmen123

first of all, silicone will stick at first it will only get smooth after you work it in. also some silicone spray isn't 100% silicone. some have added oil based products that ruin the cube, so make sure its the right kind. Also although Vaseline does work, it wont work as good as QUALITY silicone and vasilene ruins the inside of your cube after long periods of time.

[lizardmen123]

It's says profesional quality, but i will try again. Thx

[AnimeFreakGiggles]

have u tried jigaloo?thats what i use but i think after a while it made my cube a bit loose. what do u think of this lubercant, if uve usedit.

[DanieLDude1554]

i haven't used it but i have heard that it works well

[Crossover97]

thanks it helps a bit- with the front and back face and bottom- but otherwise i basically i already did most of that =)

[Xbox360Rulesz]

[n7c7m7p8]

thank you for your info... nice tutorial... I'm a newbie; just got my rubik cubes from china now... so ... here goes the party. :)

[2011Blackroses]

[spitfire97]

[DanieLDude1554]

yeah i forgot to say dont use wd40 or any oil based lubes cause they will mess up the cube, sorry
