[Help Thread] Lubrication Thread

[Hero]

I think this would be a good One answer question thread. How to set up X man Bell Pyra M? Smooth and fast. Thanks.

I don't do pyra (lmao I dont even hav one), but from pryor (lol) knowledge, use silk and dnm-37.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

Don’t have silk, I have Weight 1,3 Speedy, Black, Dignitas, DNM, Lubicle 1. I plan on doing a core lube also. I may use Black on core and Dignitas on peices.

The blue color is lighter in real life.

I'm trying to design a lubricant! I'm no Chris Tran, but I like what I've made so far

Nice! Is it silicone based?

It's water-based, but based on my observations so far it lasts longer than maru It mainly makes the cube smoother and very slightly faster.

Where can I buy the little 10cc and 3cc bottles that lubes like DNM come in? I can't find them on amazon.
EDIT: sorry for the double post D:

What do you guys think of Z-lube? Is it good by today's standards?

 

[Reed Merrill]

Very nice! I've wanted a nice neutral-speed lube for a while now actually.

I've heard it's pretty bad, don't bother getting it.

Lubicle DNM-37 or Silk?

 

[Reed Merrill]

Lubicle DNM-37 or Silk?

They're all so different, but my favorite is DNM because it is the most useful. I think that it's more useful because it lasts decently long, and speeds up big cubes a lot.

Lubicle DNM-37 or Silk?

I would also go with DNM.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

DNM for me too ( I haven’t tried silk though).

 

[1001010101001]

Just brought some DNM from Cubicle it is coming. I'll see what its like.

Can you lube a puzzle with only Maru lube or DNM?

Yup, it would work fine, it just depends on what you prefer. I personally have never done only DNM on anything smaller than 4x4.

Ok, thanks.
