How to strengthen cube plastic

[cuberman0312]

so my plastic, on my rubik's 4x4 was pretty weak, i put it in acetone to break off the gorilla glue that was left on it. That made it the weakest plastic ever.

I put the pieces in a bowl filled with water, I froze them, they came out better than before.

That was your problem.

I too have frozen cubes and they did seem to be better for a little while.

Just took the words out of my mouth.
But how did the idea of freezing the pieces just come in mind?

Well, you're in Canada. You could just put the cube out of your igloo. You have it so easy there as a Canadians. We people from other countries actually have to buy freezing devices. So sad.

Freezing devide? You mean our polar bears, or penguins?

I used to use a rubik's 4x4 before the awesome mefferts came out.

The best way to lube it is actually to dunk the whole cube, disassembled, into water. I don't know why, but somehow it works AMAZINGLY well.

but that's after some breaking in and such.
