I have a few spare storeboughts, and i was considering putting them in the freezer for a day. This could possibly make the cube smoother, but I also run the risk of ruining it. Will freezing a cube really do anything?

lmao this reminds me of disney on ice for some reason.

its as unthinkable as putting your cube in the microwave.
 
I just stuck one in the freezer I will post if it is better in the morning.
 
Wow, is ANYONE going to say ANYTHING about the Rubik's Ice Cube? That was quite a failure of a 2x2, who knows what will happen to a 3x3?
 
I thought storeboughts had rivets instead of springs...

You've got your parts confused =/
Storeboughts have Rivets and Springs
Diys have Screws and Springs

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Kind of uncalled for dude >:T

Ive actually put a cube in the freezer (don't ask). Does nothing. The cube will be slower for like 30 seconds but then it'll be back to normal. What gave you the idea it will make it smoother?

When I first got a Rubik's Cube, I tried everything to make it better like those on YouTube (I didn't know about DIY's) Part of lubing method that I was doing included soaking the cube in water (o.o) soaking a piece of cloth paper in water, wrapping the cube with the paper, and putting in in the fridge. A few hours later, when the paper was pretty crisp, I took the cube out and it turned considerably smoother and faster. So I am not sure if this could be the same as freezing the cube, but I hope it helps in some way. O.o
 
Yes, I do admit rivets are far ways from being applied as springs...

I thought that storeboughts had just the rivets, no spring nor screw. I have never felt any "springy" action in a storebought....must not be very noticeable.

Never mind, now.
