There are some issues with my square-1, and I'm not really sure what to do about them. The top layer is much slower than the bottom layer, and (sometimes during algorithms) when I squeeze two corners together, the lower part of an edge comes flying out. I don't think either of these things are normal since I've heard great things about the qiyi square-1 like "it doesn't pop", but it obviously does. Could someone help me?
I'm having a few problems with my stickerless qiyi sq-1

Have you tried lubing and tensioning? It might be due to you not breaking it in enough too.

Top and bottom layers being different speeds for a square-1 is fairly normal. Popping is weird though, you should check to see if you have any defected pieces.

Glue the edges together.

Ive thought about this, does this eliminate the 'half' pops?

nope. but at least you dont get the edge cap pop anymore.

So that's a yes then?

I mean, you won't get the edge cap pop any more, but the whole edge piece can still get dislodged and 'half pop', if you know what I'm talking about.

If you look at the slower pieces, there will be imperfections from the molding process leaving bumps, sand them down. I had the same issue, that's how i fixed it
