Center Cap pops

[cuberkid10]

I take a small bit of non-dry clay and put it on the edge. The excess wipes right off, and I feel it stays on really well compared to paper.

The entire inner mechanism and core, or just the actual pieces?

just the piece, to make removing the excess paper easier

the first time i read it, i thought the removing all the pieces was a joke, but i see the point now

People still reccomending the paper method? it's like reccomending someone to use vaseline..
Just shave off a bit of the plastic, permanent fix and you don't have to hassle with the paper whenever you go to adjust the cube.

Paper is perfect. As long as you get the cube to the right tension, you won't have to hassle.

Weilong Center Cap Pop Issues

For some odd reason, my Moyu Weilong always has center cap pops. Does anyone else have this issue or have a solution? This cube is perfect but i'm afraid to compete with it because of this issue.

Just put a littlebit of paper between the cab and the center

What? I'm confused.

 

[Veekindel]

Adding some lube also keeps it in place, for me at least

 

[th3gam1ngg0d]

Can someone tell me how to do the paper thing?

Works for all cubes.

Thanks, the paper thing works well but I like Veekindel's way of lubing the center cap because i can still tension it freely.

The paper doesn't stop you from tensioning.

A dab of Elmer's "school glue" works perfectly. Strong enough to hold it on, but too weak to prevent you from taking it off if you need to adjust the tension.

I just use tissue paper and put a big chunk on, slap the cap on, and tear the excess off.

 

[CriticalCubing]

That is the same as putting paper on, right?

I just use tissue paper and put a big chunk on, slap the cap on, and tear the excess off.

What I do is, aply a thin layer of super glue and let it dry so that it forms a barricade around the cap. Then you put the cap on. As the super glue dried, it dosent stick on forever and dried super glue holds it in place
