[Rubixcubematt]

hey guys, i was just wondering if 3 in 1 sillicone spray is acutally sillicone. coz i heard somewhere that it is actually wd-40. is this true???

I'm not so sure about that...
But 3 in 1 silicone spray DOES ruin your cube, just like WD-40

crap. at least i kno not 2 use it on the diy's that i orderd

I used it on all my DIY cubes (2x Type A and 2x Type).
It works prefectly fine, just make sure you play with your cube after u spray it. As far as damage to the cube, I don't see any melted plastic or anything like that.

It does actually ruin your cube. I used it on my Storebrought and was ok at first and made my cube smell really bad. Then after I sprayed it I read the can closely and noticed it was made my the same company that makes WD-40 and it did actually up my cube.

 

[shidonii]

wow. am i the only person who has used 3-in-1 and got a positive result? It's made by them but if it's exactly the same as WD-40 why bother making it?

It was my first cube. Its crap at first, so you need to wear it in. BUT after a while it makes your cube toooooo looooose. My first black ES's are too loose.

levi, that is so true. people complain about how loose and popable my cube is. its probably coz of the 3 in 1 professional sillicone spray stuff. lucky i havent used it on my eastsheens

 

[rachmaninovian]

it's pretty okay i think. at least it works for me.

I've used this 3 in 1 spray on 3 of my cubes. Both my Type A and D turn much better, but my Yuga feels a little sluggish. But I think I overlubed that one and havn't got round to cleaning it.

It is not WD-40, but it is MADE BY WD-40, which does not classify it as a bad product. I only use it for oiling Garage door chains, and I use CRC 808 for cubes. Each bottle has its own purpose.

I've been using this stuff for at least a year, and I have not encountered any negative results, on any of my cubes.

it's silicone, but it's a lousy lube.

3 in 1 is the only silicone I've been able to get my hands on and all though it made it faster, it didn't seem to work as well as people told me silicone did. I'm going to assume this is because there are better silicone sprays out there, but I can't find any others in the UK.

Also, when it dried there was no "clear silcone film" on the cubies that I've heard is supposed to appear when it is sprayed on.

 

[Neroflux]

what is the color of the can?

 

[Kolraz]

Yellow and black with a red cap.

 

[Neroflux]

this is the new one, the old one was the good stuff.

 

[Garmon]

Works amazingly for me.
