[Member Intro] Hello all, Question too

[Jake Kolander]

hello, I just signed up here. I can solve the 2 by 2 cube all the way up to the 8 by 8. I just got into speed cubing and bought some crc heavy silicon spray lube for my 3 by 3. When I lubed it, the spray would stick and dirt would stick to it. I don’t know why, help I’m new.

Thank you
Jake Kolander

With CRC you're supposed to spray the pieces, let it sight like overnight. Then put your cube back together, let is sit some more, then do a bunch of solves. It will stick to itself at first, but after it's broken in, it will be much better than before.

ALSO, this isn't 2006 anymore. There are many better choices than CRC for lubricating your cubes, and you should explore those options to be your primary method of lubing.
