@earth2dan Hmmmm... you make a compelling case
Maybe I should give the lighter ones a try, at least on some 3x3's to test.

Definitely worth a test. Though it's worth noting that the 3x3's I've lubed in the past with 50k are still good. Whereas I've had to re-lube some of the 3x3's I lubed with lighter weights. Trade off I guess for instant results with no break in.@earth2dan Hmmmm... you make a compelling caseMaybe I should give the lighter ones a try, at least on some 3x3's to test.
I used to build and paint models as a hobby, but I don't really have the time/space for that anymore. I think that disassembling, lubing, and stickering cubes has filled that void for me. It's almost therapeutic. And I get to play with them when I'm done!I know nothing about lube compared to you guys. I bought some Maru and a couple of weights from the cubicle, sometimes I squirt some in there. That's about how scientific I am.
I think the 1:15 is about 19 seconds faster than my PB, also on 4x4 though!
Two of the four bad cubes were missed parity, one had the last edge target missed (I think it was a flipped edge but I mistakenly solved one sticker instead of flipping it), and the other was a fumble which I knew during comp that I'd done. So all four were execution errors which is why I wanted to test my memo again. Next timeGood stuff @mark49152. Got there this time! Did you work out if the non-parity error in the comp was memo or execution?
Maru is perfect. But just do not squirt, use 2 - 3 drops at the most.. Do it like this: Pull an corner out, than take an edge out. Drop 1 drop in the area close to the torpedo. Do that on two edges and one drop on a cornerstalk-base. And you are good to go for at least 200 solves.I know nothing about lube compared to you guys.

Thanks, I assume other people's memories are similar. It's fascinating how long a memo can stick, especially since it can dissolve completely in the space of a few seconds if not firmly committed to memory, as very often happens when I'm rushing 3BLD corner memo!amazing how you were able to do 8/8 a couple days later, your memo is sticky)
I'd like to try something like a one year delayed BLD too, that would be really cool.
Welcome! The thread is long and moves very fast! If your give a day there will be several pages to catch up on.This is one obscenely long thread. New old guy here. Just getting through beginners method and starting to think about bld. More interested in learning to think in 3 dimensions and practicing mnemonic techniques than in speed Cubing. Working on remedial math and mental calculation as side projects.
