Viscosity of Lubix Found! Cheaper Alternative!

[stinkocheeze]

Obviously he isn't super obsessed with lube and hardware like many of the posters on the forum, and spends his time actually cubing instead. You can get awesome times on your cube regardless of the lube you use.

lol qq
I will stick with lubix because there stickers are cool :3

Peeps need to learn white text.

Polydimethylsiloxane. Spot on. Good job

Sheesh, what's going on here? What's up with this Lubix fuss recently?

I thought that we've already established that Lubix is just those polydimethyl siloxane oils (or whatever they're called, I'm not an expert in Chemistry) that you could get really cheap at your local hobby store?

Yes, it is more valid when Dan does something, because he actually knows what he is talking about.

Well I would trust a Chem major, and I highly doubt either of them are.

 

[stinkocheeze]

This silicone can be found in many processed foods and fast food items such as McDonald's Chicken McNuggets [9].

OMG D00D. NUW I CAN UZE MCNUGGTS TO LOOB MY CUB.

You fail at reading white text:fp

Yeah
Hard to read something you cannot see

 

[EricReese]

Oh I am sorry for not being able to read white text on white background. Sorry I don't check? -.-

:fp

 

[freshcuber]

It is so frustrating talking to you. You are by far the most immature member I've ever seen. Clearly I was referring to Dan Cohen (masterofthebass)

Good I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees this.

aha funny.
im sort of a beginner to all of this speedsolving stuff so i've been using vaseline (very very very bad, i know) until i got my guhong

 

[Whyusosrs?]

You too? haha

You're so mature yourself.... http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?22974-OLL-and-PLL-have-slowed-down-my-times-o still haven't seen any videos of that "blink of an eye" recognition and 10-15 second cross+f2l on beginners method.

This could be interesting because it might force Donovan (owner of Lubix) to lower his prices on his lube. I thought it was common knowledge that lubix was just high wt. silicone oil, but now that I guess this has gone "public" it might force his prices down.

I was wondering... How would it affect your cube if you were to put in... say... 500kwt sillicone oil in it?

Ever put Gorilla glue in your cube?

Nothing bad unless you put in a ton of it

Thanks, and I was thinking of just applying like with Lubix, same amount etc. etc.

 

[EnterPseudonym]

High viscosities have the property to slow down a cube because they are so thick. Low viscosities are just the opposite, such as Maru lube.
If you do use it, I myself would use less than the "normal" lubix amount.

Aight, thanks for the comments, I think I will order some and try it out, its quite cheap anyway

 

[DeathCuberK]

Even if a cheaper alternative was found, I will still continue to support Lubix. I love their easy application syringes, and plus, the money goes to a member of the cubing community, instead of some shock oil company.

 

[NeuwDk]

I have 60,000cSt coming. I will make a comparison.

How is this going?

 

[masterofthebass]

just as it was. I would've posted something otherwise.

Maru lube is not silicone oil. It's basically silicone spray with water-based solvent.
