Making a magnetic valk

[FinnTheCuber101]

Hi,
I recently ordered a premium valk 3 from the cubicle and was wondering if I could put magnets in it without wiping off the lube inside, as I know you have to dissasemble the puzzle and the pieces.
Thanks

If you're careful and don't mind a bit of frustration, sure.
I wouldn't bother, though, since the Valk uses split pieces. If it had caps then you could put the magnets in without ever actually disassembling it, but since it doesn't, you might as well just wipe the pieces down. Lube attracts dirt and dust and you'll have to leave the pieces out to let the adhesive set, it would be a lot of trouble to put them all under bowls or something.

I guess I'll try to be careful because I'm not particularly good at lubing cubes and I don't have much lubricant anyway. Thanks for the help

I wouldn't if I were you. If you're applying adhesive, it won't stick unless the surface is absolutely clean. Do what you want, but don't be surprised if some magnets fall out.

You mount the magnets to the inside of the piece, so preserving lube there isn't really a concern.

My thoughts exactly. I'll just try to make it magnetic without wiping off the lube and if it doesn't work i guess I can order some new lube and re lube it

Right. But lube can get on the inside of the pieces. Like I said, try if you want. My point is that to preserve the lube would not be my primary concern.

My point was that he can clean the inside without having to re-apply the lube.

Ah. Yes well said.
