Sorry about the crappy video.

This time without my right index finger kind of near the up layer

I was extremely happy with my GuHongs straight out the box but a few mins ago I was astonished.
I just tried some lube which my GF bought back from work

http://watchpart.co.uk/elma-vacuproof-silicon-revealing-p-2457.html

I put a small drop on 4 of the corners and a couple of drops on the inner circumference and all of a sudden I had a cube which God would be proud of.

It used to cut about 40 degs with a little force.
I just put it to 45 deg and it cut with almost no effort at all with fairly tight tensions.
It cuts all the way to about 50 degs then cuts the wrong way.

Has anyone had any experience with this lube?

If I find out it will destroy my cube within a few weeks I doubt that will stop me from using it. I'll just stock up on GuHongs. If the movies cost £8 with no popcorn then I think I can budget for a new cube at £7 quite regularly.

I know some of you think corner cutting is overrated and with precise turns it's unnecessary but the overall performance of the cube has gone though the roof.

Anyway, I'm going to stop gushing and do a few dozen solves before I pass out.

How far can you run into the woods?

This is a silicone based sealant...

hmm...

 

[~Adam~]

I'll dig out my camera tomorrow if you want but its gone 3 here with no tripod or camera person.

My 1st 12 solves were a new PB (a little under 22)

Half way I suppose but I doubt my lungs would last that long.

Cool, but who actually needs 50 degrrees, the same performance can be achieved with 35-40

People who hate on wanting good corner cutting are starting to look like clones. No one needs it, yes, but it's good to have.

 

[waffle=ijm]

50 degrees lol.

 

[Kurbitur]

[Ranzha]

Pics or it didn't happen.

Even if it does cut corners at 50˚, WHY DO YOU NEED IT TO?

But seriously, how is 50 degrees anywhere near necessary to have?

Good (as in, it's nice) to have, not necessary.

It's not necessary. It's just good. It's like a bonus.
Why not have it, if it's there?

Well said, but there's really no use for it in a real solve. It's like some of the crappy games that are sometimes packaged with video game consoles. They're there, but they're pretty useless.

I need at least 40 degree corner cuts.
