Cube Lubing Problems

[BelGarion]

Prepare to head desk or face palm *alot*. Yes, I'll admit I am a newbie to lubing cubes and this is why I am here. I got a Ghosthand , or F type, cube, white. On Lube The Cube website they recommended the assembly lube. So I got some assembly lube and, like how they did it, I put a few drops into one of the cubies and snapped it back in place, randomized it for a good minute or two, and did a few solves on it. It still felt like it was dragging, like unlubed plastic on unlubed plastic. So I repeated with the same method and same results. So I put a bunch of lube in to speed up the process. Was good for a solve or two but it started to quickly feel sluggish, not dragging like before, but like rubbing two sticky surfaces against one another. What am I doing wrong here? This is official Rubik's assembly lube as they recommended on Lube The Cube. Help?

Where is this lube?

you probably over lubricated it or you didn't work it in enough. That usually happens to me. I use CRC silicone spray sometimes it takes a while to work in. It also depends on the type of plastic. Certain lubes react to different cubes different ways. I would recommend cleaning out and re-lubing it. If this still happens clean it out again and try a different lubricant.


Hope this Help

If it comes in a shringe (spelt wrong) than its really really really good for balled core 4x4s, its bad on 3x3s I put some in my type F, and it was crap, basicly trash. So I sanded off the silicone build up, and retensioned it, now its amazing,
