3in1 professional wd 40 white lithuim grease as lubricant

[rayko90]

hey is a 3in1 professional wd40 white lithuim grease suitable for lubing a cube?

 

[mati1242]

I would say no because It can melt plastic of the cube.

 

[rayko90]

so thrs a differnence between a normal white lithuim grease and a 3in1 professional one?

 

[mati1242]

Don't know what's the difference between those 2 products.

In my Country - Poland we have product like WD-40 and It can't be used to lubing cubes because it just "eats" plastic of your cube.

I suggest You buying Silicone Oil Spray (not the 3 in 1 thing)

 

[rayko90]

hmm i will try to find crc heavy duty silicone then. idk if its available in singapore. anw does online shops sell lubes? like maru all those ? hw much are they?

 

[mati1242]

There are a lot of online Shops where you can buy lubes like:
icubemart.com
lightake.com
hknowstore.com
51morefun.com

and many others - I don't know many of them because I don't order from online shops.

wat lube do u use?

 

[mati1242]

Currently Silicone Oil Spray but Also Reely Visko 50k Differential Oil and Z-lube.
It depend on what I would like my cube to be.

 

[rayko90]

jus asking as i am curious, wat cube r u using? i am using a store bought dian sheng. it locks up alot and the paint peels

 

[mati1242]

Currently I'm switching between GuHong v1 and ZhanChi 55mm - Both are good but GuHong is faster.

Yeah I know- I have 3 of them - One mini and 2 regular. They lock's up a lot .

You need a better cube that is adjusted to your times .

 

[rayko90]

i ordered a zhanchi and is waiting for it to be delivered to me. i tot that zhanchi is supposed to be faster?

 

[o2gulo]

Well, yes. But out of the box( without lube) Don't expect it to be wickedly fast. Lube the core using a high viscosity diff oil Like, lubix, traxxas, izolube,z-lube etc. (spray works fine, I use Cyclo because CRC or Jigaloo isnt available here) and break it in Goodluck!

 

[rayko90]

i also seen ppl saying that their zhanchi out of the box is totally diff. their zhanchi out of the box and slow and stiff. i am worried about mine

 

[o2gulo]

Yes, they are, my ZhanChi is also stiff and rough out of the box, but I just lubed it and just break it in and it will be fast Do not worry

 

[rayko90]

the problem is , idh the right lubrication.

 

[Alvin Tan]

Use silicone oil.

 

[s3rzz]

WD40 whatever you use will work just fine. It doesn't eat your cube to the point it will fall apart or have holes in it.

 

[rayko90]

hmm. but does it eats the cube to the point whr lock ups will occur more or easier to pop? and alvin where did u buy ur lube?

 

[Alvin Tan]

There's this hobby shop near Outram Park mrt which sells the them.
