Hello everyone!
So I've had my Ghost Hand II 3x3 for about six months now.
I'm much of a beginner, in fact, this was the first cube I ever bought.
After six months of working amazingly well, my cube started to slow down A LOT.
It can't cut corners AT ALL and it often locks.
I assume that's because I've never lubricated it nor adjusted the tentions.
Here in Argentina, it's rather difficult to find a good lubricant for the Rubik's cube. I have an oil based lubricant but I didn't use it on my cube because I've heard that it dissolves de plastic. We don't have CRC or Jig-A-Loo.
I'm going to buy a few puzzles from CubeDepot soon and I wanted to clear out some doubts:
I am thinking of buying a little bottle of Maru Lube and I heard it was not that good because it didn't last, like it would make the cube MUCH faster for like 5 or 7 solves and then wear off.
That's of course something I dont want.
So what do you guys say, should I buy the Maru Lube?
I'm really sorry if this thread turned out to be quite long, I just couldn't shrink it down any further.
Regards!
