I just bought a DIY Type A and B from Puzzle Pros

[RObie69]

Now i just got these last night, and the Type A (blue) one that i bought keeps poping and coming loose....

What should i do to keep it from poping out and from coming apart??

The Type C (black) one that i got, is really stiff, does any1 know some store bought stuff that i can use on it to make it faster?? like stuff from a hardware store or something, just NOTHING that i have to order off the internet...

Thank You

Puzzleproz doesn't have blue type As. Nor black type Cs. You got them switched.

Buy CRC heavy duty silicone spray or jig-a-loo at almost any hardware store to lube the cubes.

So one is stiff and one is too loose?

Make a hybrid! (And lube).

Most of these DIY's are terrible without lube.

For the Type C--put just a little squirt in one side, and just a little squirt in the other, don't overdo it, and then work it in by scrambling for a few minutes. It takes very little to come to life and it'll be very crisp feeling. The C should rarely pop. *After* lubing, you may need to tighten it some.

I use Jig-A-Loo lately, available at any walmart. It has that little straw you can attach to the nozzle (my CRC didn't come with any). I actually don't even remove any cubies to lube--I just pull them apart slightly and stuff the straw down in there and give it a little squirt.

What I find that works for me beside lubing is giving the cubes time, love and care. Get to know your cube, use it a whole bunch then one day, it will be amazing.
