How to lubricate a rubiks 4x4x4

[nosam1998]

No offense dude but that is 45 degrees

[pokelegocuber]

ummmmmmmmm....................­... it 45 degrees.

[akirakun9993]

How long does it take for it to stop being slow?

[younglink680]

@akirakun9993 not long, depends on how much u put but its probably going to get pretty rough. DONT GET NERVOUS! That just how the CRC works, it will take a few solves for it to go away. You can let it sit overnight or for 30 minutes. Either way works.

[puliukko13]

Is there something really BAD in the silicone spray? I mean i didn't found heavy duty so i bought normal.

[typeman5]

does WD40 work?

[younglink680]

@typeman5 no

[typeman5]

@younglink680 i've found out :)

[younglink680]

@typeman5 lol, well it was a quick answer so i thought "whatthehey"

[MrFuckBuckets]

use vasoline it only breaks down a microscopic layer of the cube

[acesmak]

lol stick it in there and spary it in the hole

[k0lors]

LOL! 0:57 through 1:04 thats what she said!

[demastaJr]

can in use vasaline?? why or why not?

[RightRound101]

0:42 fail dude its 45 degrees not 90

[drago01267]

OMG IT WORKS LIKE HELL improved 100%!!!!!!!

[thadlim]

I got this 4x4 for my birthday, pulled out the edge piece and the center broke.then I went to toysrus and said it broke when I took it out. So they gave mr a new one. Went back and I tried again.it didn't break but was rough. I took it out again and it broke,:(

[k0lors]

@thadlim same same, but i fixed mine with super glue :D

[im2awesome2die]

@thadlim om my god the same exact thing happened to my 4x4

[Kravokadin]

LOL sorry thats 45 degrees not 90 ^^

[tefolase]

what a retard a 90 degree angle is a full turn what you did there was something like a 42 degree angle not 45 though

[jesmurf]

That's 45 degrees, not 90

[eduarrdos]

How can I lay up an edge piece for the first time?

[Slonoloza]

Fairly easy take out the piece? Fairly easy my ass... Those shits are hard as hell to take out, my centar piece alwas almost brakes

[Richty227]

when i took the edge peice out one of the center peices broke. I then went back later and realized that you have to kinda twist the piece out of the cube while holding the center peice right behind it so as not to break it.

[samumaster]

Some people say that vaseline is horrible. But it works fine with my 3x3x3, except a little piece got kinda broken, but that doesn't matter. I have a new 4x4x4 and I have to lube it. Should I use vaseline? We do not have any silicone spray and I don't feel like I should go buying it. I'm not sure do they even have it here. But anyway what should I use for lubing my 4x4x4? This sounds funny, but someonse said that cum is fine. Im not joking. Should I use cum?

[Roflpawnched]

@samumaster lololololololololol

[0m3ga1000]

mine is to but im not sure if it has a lip ob it or what caus i cant take it apart

[Kaner3]

i got a new rubiks 4x4, and the edge pieces have kinda like a lip on it, so its very difficult to take the edge pieces off...

[MoToMaNiAcK74]

why cant you use vaseline?

[plurple73]

Because eventually it will break down the cube.

[MoToMaNiAcK74]

some people say that if you lube it the way you do the silicone acts as a glue and glues your cube so i think its best if you take apart the whole cube the spray some sweeps on each piece cause im waiting for mine and i dont want it to glue together...

[plurple73]

you can do that, and I would recommend doing that the first time lubing the cube.

[Pwnzjoomom]

@plurple73 you are oh so true dude, so i eventually threw it out.

[dragonracer5]

where do u get silicon spray

[plurple73]

any hardware store.

[foong1995]

0:42 lol 90 degrees?

[hannasquarepants]

hey plurple, you said when you first spray it its kind of hard but when you play with it for a while it gets smoother and faster right? how long does it take to get all smooth and fast?

[Xrick56]

90 degrees? do your math

[plurple73]

i did ur mom instead jk lol

[togaman10]

can i use patroleium jelly

[plurple73]

no.

[warwax27]

I cant easily pop out the edge piece will I use a screwdriver or something?

[plurple73]

yeah, just be careful.

[Yaroslav94]

Would Jid-a-loo work???????????!

[plurple73]

yes

[doofesh]

jig-a-loo

[decadeflyer]

i wanna use jigaloo too but im not sure how it is on plastics. Have u done it with that already? If so, did it work good?

~pce~

[Yaroslav94]

where did u get the silicone??

[plurple73]

any hardware store.

[wjacky1]

I used vaseline and it works perfectly fine, not even horrible, I RECCOMEND VASELINE!!!!!

[TemurAmir]

lol, wait for a while and you won't be saying that once your core breaks or your pieces start cracking. Vaseline and wd-40 harm your cube!

[shadowrunner103]

Vaseline will work okay, but over time it will start eating away at the plastic.

[glendasboyfriend]

can you use other stuff to lubricate it like vaseline or WD-40?

would it make any difference?

[idot3442]

you can use vaseline or vicks vapor rub but no wd-40 silicon spray is still the best known way

[glendasboyfriend]

can u use other stuff on a 4x4x4 like vaseline or WD-40?

[plurple73]

Both of those would eventually wear down ur cube do not do it!

[imaghost5]

where can you find the rubiks 4x4? i looked at my walmart and they only had a rubiks magic, not even the 3x3.

[bangbam23]

this is the third vid i saw with the same lubeicant!? i bought mine off of ebay..sucks! where do i find that lube!?

[plurple75]

any hardware store.

[thebandz]

wal mart

[bignonstoptube]

[tlm1992]

twist it 90 degrees xD

[elitegrim]

u dont turn it 90 degrees

u turn it 45 degrees

[accountnumber1234567]

lol thats what i was thinking when he said it

[ventesixz26]

how did u put back that edge piece that easy it takes me how many minutes and effort to put that pls teach me

[plurple73]

well, mine is really loose so it just pops right in there.

[toavezon]

Dude, it's not that hard.

[skaterslayer981]

i know me too!!!

[emmanuelphua]

Lol u dont twist it 90degrees.its 45 degrees

[hypno159753]

where did you get your silicone

[plurple73]

at any hardware store.

[THEBLINK167]

could u also use vasoline? or dus vasoline not work as well?

[plurple73]

no, that will destroy your cube.

[skaterslayer981]

ive had vaseline in my cube for 6 months and nothing happened. it still is pefectly fine

[wilsonmitts]

i us ethat on my 3x3

[THEBLINK167]

i think it vasoline works pretty well as well, thanks wilsonmitts

[shadoelement237]

vaseline=smoother...silicone= faster

[thepwnageartix]

can please anyone tell me wether i got rip off?i bought a new 4x4x4 cube the original cube.and when i turn it,it broke!!and it sounds like its breaking apart..

[allstarperson]

silicone is poisonous and i got a little brother living with me.I use vasaline,and my cube is still not been eaten by it.for some reason its still perfect.

[HadleyDGRC]

It's dangerous is you continuously breathe it in. A little spray here and there won't kill you.

[4nim3cube]

uh... what happens when u use vaseline instead...

[plurple73]

it will eat away the plastic, and start tom pop. dont do it

[avery137]

0:44 it's 45 degrees >.> :P

[plurple73]

i know, idk why i said 90

[plurple73]

hmm, not the kind i use, it takes me 5 mins to break it in.

[plurple11]

this works really good, you just have to break it in a little

[ItachiXAnko]

Question: What makes silicon so special among other lubricants?

[plurple73]

i dont know

[spiderpig846]

i lubricated mine with vaseline. i think vaseline is better.(my opinion)

[plurple73]

actually vasiline will eat away at your cube over time :( hpw do i know, it happened to me

[flyxflipxguy]

when it eats away meaning like, the peices eventually can't come together and everything will fall apart?

[plurple73]

well to me, it just got really slow, and popped alot.

[spiderpig846]

not the 4x4x4, the 3x3. and my cube still works well and its almost been a year!

[plurple73]

hmm....... dunno, mine doesnt maybe its just the cube? but you should try it with silicone, its MUCH BETTER!

[spiderpig846]

the reason y i hat e silicone is that my cibe still has smell!!!! lol

[plurple73]

itle go away eventuallly

[UbixCube]

I agree they SUCK lol

nice video :P

[plurple73]

thanks :p

[fanwuq]

[plurple73]

[Desie37]

[plurple73]

[plurple11]

[plurple73]

[golferno1247]
