Putting the cube into the fridge before removing stickers?

[daniel0731ex]

hi, this is probably my third thread about uses of the fridge
i find this method pretty effective, because most of the the glue came off with the stickers (c4u) and the leftover goos are very easy to remove - you could easily rub it off with your finger.

did anyone try this before?

In the frodge? I don't have a frodge.

I just take mine outside. Then it cracks though...

Hi Daniel,

I fixed the typo in your thread title:

"putting the cube into the frodge before removing stickers?"

Happy cubing,
Chris

Nail polish remover and a rag FTW

Using the fridge would probably work, but I'm afraid of making my plastic brittle by freezing it. (Paranoia. Probably wont actually happen). Plus, It makes my cube feel weird, like it did something to the lube. Though I have tried it, I don't wanna try it again.

+1. I could use a visit to canada, It ranges from 30 to 40 degrees(Celsius) at the moment.

Thank you for the useful(useless?) information, I might try it with the cube I'm about to re-sticker.

EDIT: About 50 posts while I post? New record. /exaggeration

Oh! Another thing, rubbing alcohol works too. Maybe both would be good...I guess it's kind of the same as nail polish remover though.

I'm not even joking, if I were to bring my cube outside and try and move it, it would probably crack. Not to mention if I dropped it.

I don't doubt it. 5 Seconds over there would be enough, I think. Then I'd click my heels together three times and say 'There's no place like home.'

@Below. I know. That's the reason I didn't doubt it, I saw the forecasts on another thread, where you Canadians were all bragging about how cold it was.

I would love it there. Its 30 Celsius here, and I'm in the northern hemisphere.

Frosbite in 10 min.

I will try this. I usually just use Goo Gone, but inevitably it forces me to clean and relubricate the cube. And while I personally believe they aren't dangerous persay to a cube, Goo Gone does contain petroleum distillates.

whats wrong with canada?

it's perfect, here in ontario

 

[metal_cuber]

In Calgary it was -34 Celsius this morning. On topic I will definatly try this before I resticker next time

Yesterday, it was warmer in both the North Pole AND the South Pole than where I live.
