Lubed My Eastsheen 5x5

[kratos94]

I just lubed my eastsheen 5x5 with heavy duty CRC. I have just lubed it after having it for about 1 day. It has become incredibly hard to turn and it is almost glued together. Any ideas on whats wrong?

well first eastsheens are amazing after you break them in so why did you lube it

 

[cubeman34]

how much did you spray in it

 

[kratos94]

i had heard that lubing that made them more amazing. So, youre not supposed to lube? Ive heard of other people lubing them and it turning out pretty well

 

[kratos94]

A decent amount, not too much maybe 3-4 1 second bursts

 

[cubeman34]

i think you put to much lube in and yes lube makes it really fast but its alredy fast out of the box

alright thanks, its starting to become a little less tight now and i can turn the outer faces well now. I guess i should have waited another week to allow more break in. Also, now one of the sides squeaks when i turn it... any ideas on what it is?

 

[cubeman34]

im not sure sorry

 

[kratos94]

From deduction ive realized that its one of the inner slices on the yellow side

EDIT: now its also the blue side...

ES 5x5+jigaloo=RIP 5x5

ES 5x5+jigaloo=RIP 5x5

Yes but ES 5x5+CRC=?

 

[cubeman34]

ES 5X5+much CRC=bad

 

[waffle=ijm]

ES 5x5 + 1-3 spritzes of CRC = GOOD

 

[cubeman34]

yeh to much is like 4 2 second sprays

 

[kratos94]

Alright good news its faster than before and now the squeaking is gone. Thanks guys.
