I would not use ANY aerosol silicone. They all contain very strong petroleum based solvents that can potentially weld your cube together. Try to find some brand of silicone oil that does not contain petrochemicals. And don't use petroleum jelly(vaseline) the name says it all.

Yes, I've noticed it can fuse the cube together. But the reason why is because it actually melts the surface of the plastic. But if you're quick to work in the lubricant, it'll smooth out the soft plastic. Once it all hardens, the cube turns much better.

I am pretty new to Rubiks and stuff. I lubricated first time today (my Rubik's 4x4x4) and I am really exited about the results! I found some silicone spray from my fathers supply cabinet and tried this. I just followed your instructions (exept I did it outside in -3°C) and it worked so well! Just wanted to thank you for great videos. Thank you. ^.^

hey i need help, i used CRC Heavy Duty Silicon Spray on my cube, and it works perfectly, but i messed up and accidentally sprayed the top of the cube as well. it looks nasty and i cant get it off.

My cube is a dayan guhong 3x3 stickerless rubiks cube, and i need help to remove the silicone.

Thanks!

@000David7Piao000 Lubix is way better than vaseline

[CalvinIsAwsome]

Which lubrication do you recommend for a v cube 5, v cube 3, and a zhanchi? Thanks ^.^

[000David7Piao000]

hey which one is better vasaline or lubix lube?

[CuberExtreme]

@MeMyselfAndPi i use Jig-A-Loo, it makes my cube turn much better. i used it on my 4x4x4 and if i hit the top layer it turns three times. i find Jig-A-Loo is much better than CRC.

i tried selfsuscribing and i couldn't either, damn it, that's weird :/

[MrStickmanSteve]

Margarine works good too

@5durdur Racist lol i was just stating that the color scheme IS ACTUALLY a color scheme just not the one he is used to.
