How long do your stickers last?

[Novriil]

I bought a HUGE bunch of stickers from CS almost a year ago or so. Now I haven't used almost none of them. When I get cubes then I first put on those stickers that come with it so that I can try them out. This way I don't waste any good stickers on a crappy cube that I'm gonna sell for 2 bucks. Unfortunately those stickers last so long that I don't have to change them at all :/ I scratch 1 stricker a little bit in a year?

Do you put CS/good stickers on at the first when you get a cube or do you try the same way as me? And how long do your stickers last?



E: If this should be in hardware then move it to there..

Let me put it this way. I've been cubing for roughly 7 months and I've never had to take off Cubesmith stickers because they were old/peeling.

It depends on the cube. The original stickers on my two FIIs didn't last two days. Meanwhile, the stickers on my LanLan 2x2x2 show no signs of wear whatsoever.

I meant that I haven't put CS stickers on to cubes. I have used only those that I put on a cube at first and they last very-very long..

I just leave the stickers on that I came with the cube. However, I've had to replace maybe 3 3x3's w/ cubesmith stickers. I bought ~15 sets, so I'm set for a looong time.

I recommend trying out the stickers that come with the cube. If you like the cube, then replace with cubesmith stickers. They last forever

3 months and going with default type f-II stickers.

The only stickers i've ever replaced were those on my lanlan 2x2, and the cubesmith ones i put on don't look much different than the day i put them on.

I've used cubesmith tiles that lasted well over a year, and what made them "get replaced" is the fact the core broke so I ended up throwing that cube away (Although I shouldn't have, it was a really well broken in storebought, but I was never able to find one edge piece until about 2 months ago, nearly a year after it broke). I love the tiles but after using stickers so long the color is off enough to throw my recognition off, and I end up not liking the tiles after loving them so much.

The majority of the cubes I own I still frequently use and I typically use the stickers that come with them unless I find them extremely dull or if they're C4Y stickers, which I keep for siamese cubes or replacing just one sticker on something.

Anyway, my stickers last a bit more than a year because I'm pretty gentle with cubes, and I only do around 30-45 solves a day.

Storebought rubik's stickers....2+ years of on and off solving, stickers still on, due to the fact I clear nail polish over everything. Honestly it works insanely well. Did this to my new A5 too.
