    There are 4 sharp edges at the base of each of the edge piece (on the long thin piece that holds the edge into the cube). Sanding them down is the 48 point mod.

    This is actually the question I was gonna ask: I just got mine today, expected it to be completely unlubed, and was surprised how smooth it was out of the box.

    (Now, I'm a n00b, so what's smooth to me might be awful to you fast folks. But it's a HUGE improvement over the POS I was using.)

    I did get some 50Kwt diff oil, though, so I may try lubing the core sometime. How did you go about cleaning off the lube that's in there? (I'm guessing it's just a generic silicone spray; that's what it smells like, anyhow.)

    I'm thinking about getting a half-bright Cubesmith set for it 'cuz the white and yellow are throwing me off and I figure the florescent will help, and I botched the yellow and white sides when I was stickering it before I learned that the do-entire-sides-at-once-with-the-transfer-tape method was more advanced than it looked in the YouTube video.

    White DIY Guhong
    everything in the lubix ultimate guhong tutorial
    lubed with lubix
    some stickers I had left in my parts bin without logo (white center sticker replaced with lubix sticker)

    Rarely pops, slightly less smooth then when I first lubed it (less then a month ago) but still better then my old main (painted dian sheng lubed with first griffin silicon spray, and now lubix)
