anyone tried breaking-in with tooth pastes??

[*LukeMayn*]

I put some toothpaste in one of my worst turning cubes (a storebought), and solved it about 20 times (that's not long it took me to get a sub30 solve). I just cleaned it out and now the cube is much nicer than it was before

Nice idea, and it worked out very well for me.

I went through like 5 pages of posts and averaged it. I got 8/11 of his posts are fails. So he has posted about 150 fails so far out of 207 posts.

i can barely get sub 1min with toothpaste

since when can you solve tooth paste o.0

It's the new puzzle that's sweeping the nation! Soon Cube4You is going to be making KO's of it.

[fundash]

Edit:

im still waiting for my first C4Y and Cubesmith orders.
i hope it comes soon =D

btw, is it better to apply the toothpaste by popping an edge and putting some in; or take toothpaste and apply it on each piece?

I take out 3 pieces(1row) (1 edge 2 corners) and lay down a small line of tooth paste ***ON*** the pieces and NOT near the core! do the same on the oppisite side, mix it up, and then solve, repeat, wash, lube with silicone,.....

ENJOY!


EDIT: also, after the wash, beware that your cube may urinate on you!

I have to wonder how well this would work on a v-6. I imagine it would be pretty effective, just really hard and time consuming to wash out. Somebody should definitely try it though . . .

Probably because I'm too lazy, and I don't care enough about the v-6 to even mod it. I might care more after I mod it, but therein lies the problem.
