Hey guys, I have the same problem as a few people on here with different cubes, but I seem to have one side of my GuHong come loose almost right away while solving. I have seen Pestvic's video on 'Locktite', and Vaseline etc, but I dont wanna ruin my cube with Vaseline, and I dont think we can get Locktite here in little old New Zealand, so a little help would be much appreciated :eek: :eek:

dab some superglue on the inside of the screwhole. Wait until it drys and put the screw back in.

get a matchstick and cut the end off of it then shave it down to fit the whole and screw into the matchstick. make sure you cut the ends off the matchstick when you have the screw part the way in.. then it wont splinter inside the core from turning

Cube4you and hardware. DONT PUT INTO GUHONG!! The screws are a tad shorter, so if you loosen them too much, the screw will fly out. Mines on a super tight tension right now. Otherwise, the whole top layer will go flying.

Then how about C4U Core, but GuHong Hardware?

Sounds okay.

Are the Type C hardwares the same as GuHong's? But really, Maru hardwares is the way to go :)

I've had problems with my type C core, It's just like the GuHong problem. Too bad i'm out of cores... :(
