The setup I use on my Gan356X is the angstrom lubes and dnm with weight 5 on the core (lubing the core of gan puzzles is confusing) buttery smooth and amazing. I add a drop of dnm about once every 1-2 weeks depending on how much i've been cubing. Angstrom lubes last long and I have only had to re apply once.
would using dnm-37 help?
It would help speed up the cube, but I would still first try to clean out some of the Traxxes first, since it seems like there is to much in the cube at the moment. Or if you do not want to mix the lubes then you can completely clean out the cube, lube the core with Traxxes, and then use DNM on the pieces.
It makes the cube faster and helps it break in so yes but the speeding effect doesn't last long.
yes, they are all just silicone
Depends on the lube. Most silicone lubes will last at least a hundred or a couple hundred solves
So you have to reapply it every 200-300 solves? What about with water based lubes such as compound x?
Weight five is good for the core of a puzzle as it lasts longer than thinner lubes. It can also be used to slow a cube down, although I prefer compound x for that
Yeah most silicone lubes need reapplication every 2-3 hundred solves, and for lubes like Martian and lubicle silk to reapply you just need to put a couple drops in. Water based lubes like dnm can last a long time if there is moisture in the air, but if you live in a desert or dry area it will not work as well, and you are better off using something like lunar, or lubicle speedy
Depends on how you store your cubes, and how much you put in your cube. with lube, especially more viscous ones, less is more. So far my gts with 50k has about 100 solves and its already starting to feel dry and the pieces are looking dry as well.
