    Default Any good brands of silicone OIL out there?

    CRC is decent but I've felt my friends cube with silicone oil in it, and it's amazing. Does anybody know some good brands/ places where I can go to buy it from online? (I'm going to use cubelagoon to get it so anything that requires email like puzzleproz won't work)

    Your topic title is looking for a good brand of silicone, but your post is looking for where to buy CRC.

    Well, you don't have to buy online. Just go to a hardware store or if you have to, go to amazon.com.

    No, the TS wants to know where he can buy silicone OIL, not (
    CRC) silicone spray. I bought mine at Czech Open 2008 and it is indeed amazing. I will post the brand tonight

    You are so brutal Stefan.

    Anyway if you're friends have used it, they probably know a good place.
    Personally I head to a local hardware store and get something that doesn't look industrial. Something that looks to be food grade silicone or something that says can be used indoors, child safe even. Something like that will clue you in to whether or not it is corrosive. But, again, ask your friends.

    Well that's the thing, it was a prelubed cube, and he has not the slightest idea.

    Well I really doubt I'm going to find that, and I've tried, but what about this?
