But silicone are a common household item? Why would you not use that?

 

[Rubik's Exer]

I don't have it.
Will the plegde work?

 

[daeyoungyoon]

Go buy it. It isn't that hard to find it and they are very cheap.

 

[mazei]

I recommend that you should wait until you buy some.

I will buy it if my mom every does.
I just wanna know if the freaking pledge is better than petrolum jelly.

Pick up a can in your local auto supply store. It's used to coat the rubber fittings in doors to prevent them from getting stuck when it freezes. In Denmark it costs under $10 for a 200ml can. It should last for a couple of years of cubing.

Oh everything makes sense now...

 

[DcF1337]

Interesting, I started cubing when I was 13 too.

I tried everything, from baby powder to olive oil. They all suck. You're better off with silicone spray. Since Pledge contains silicone, it's pretty much your best choice until you get your hands on real silicone spray.

But silicone are a common household item? Why would you not use that?

actually not that common, it is only available if there is some diy and maintenance where lubrication is required. I had some, but i know of alot of households where they dont

I didn't have it until I went to the hardware store and got it. Problem solved.
