Does anyone know if the GAN lube can be substituted with something cheap and common?

I didn't buy the lubricant when I purchased the GAN 356M. Now the shipping would costs 12 USD. I find that too much.
Can I find something locally that would do the same thing? I am not sure what I need to look for though. Any idea?

I don't know where you live, but any silicone lube will work. Silk, Martian, Weight 5, 50k, ect

I am from Hungary. I have never heard of those brands.

You can wait until you order again.
Many Stores have some kind of Silicone lube spray, that will work as a substitute, it will make a cube faster than modern cube lubes, but will dry out and need cleaning more often.
Do NOT use WD40. Without being a chemist, the kerosene inside will break up the plastic and make it porous resulting in turning the cube sanding the pieces down.

Ok. The WD40 makes sense. Can you do me a favour and tell me what ingredients the lube should have? I just try to find something local.

UPDATE: I have just found the Moyu V3 lube for 3 USD in a Hungarian online shop. That will do....I guess.
