Dude you made another thread!? Just get some Heavy Duty Silicone multi-use lubricant http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Y3E0Wqe5L._SL500_AA280_.jpg found at any Home Depot

 

[Regisiew]

okay i dont really wana go 2 home depot so im wondering if they have it at walmart or target. do they? and is heavy duty the way to go or should i go with normal or something else? thanks odin!

 

[Musturd]

Walmart is where I bought mine, so I'm pretty sure it will be at yours.

 

[Regisiew]

okay and musturd is heavy duty the best or is normal better? or something else besides thos 2. sry if im annoying but im new here and trying to get some help. thanks!

They have it at Home Depot, Lowe's, and some auto service centers. If it doesn't specialize in hardware, it probably doesn't have any CRC stocked. The reason everyone uses the heavy duty variety is because that suits all uses so it makes sense for stores to stock that one and only that one.

EDIT: Don't make a new post after every reply just to ask a question you already asked. Most people here have the sense to scroll up and read every other post.

You can also get CRC at Joanns hobby store, walmat, HEB Plus, Hobby Lobby.

Yes, yes they do. They also sell them at Toys R Us, KB toys, Over the Rainbow ( wich is a real store).

pop out an edge, spray into the cube, immediatly put the edge back and start turning, so it doesn't leak out on the other side of the cube

 

[Regisiew]

well you cant really tighten a rubik's brand and i can break in but theres one thing it doesnt say

[Regisiew]

okay do i only pop out one edge? or pop out an edge along with the 2 corners? or yea.

 

[Odin]

when they say loosen it and then i apply do i just apply on the outside of the cube? or take it apart and spray each one individually?

Well the Vid. i showed you is how i lube a cube but there many other ways on how to lube a cube.

when they say loosen it and then i apply do i just apply on the outside of the cube? or take it apart and spray each one individually?

Yes, that is exactly what you do. You spray it on the outside hoping it will leak into the cracks between pieces.

1.) Pop out an edge
2.) Prepare the silicone by removing the straw and placing one end into the nozzle.
3.) Spray a little into the space left by the absence of an edge.
4.) Work it in. By that, I mean you can either do some solves or just keep moving the sides. I forgot to mention this, but before you work it in, put the edge back in so pieces don't go flying and silicone doesn't get everywhere.
