Lubing isn't helping

[StoriedPumpkin]

I lubed my cube about 3 times now, I washed all the pieces, wiped the core clean, I put silicone spray and it doesn't do anything, I've lubed the pieces, the screws, nothing. Sluggish

Lube is usually used to slow a cube down. Unless you have something that's water based like DNM-37, or Maru lube. Some Speed lubes like Weight 1 or 2, and specialty lubes can speed it up like Mystic, Martian. Etc.. I wouldn't use silicone spray anymore unless it's your only option I guess. There's better things out there.

Silicone spray is my only option, I think that what's making it sluggish is that lube that there's too much lube on the screws making it very slow, I will wait until tomorrow to see if it gets better, of not I'll unscrew all of my screws and clean them individually

It probably has to do with your lube, or you are just using to much.

Last time I lubed was Tuesday, and it was fine and fast, I went to lube it today, cleaned it with a moist wipe sprayed some in and nothing, I washed all of the pieces in water and put lube, still sluggish.

You don't need to lube twice a week

 

[StoriedPumpkin]

Yeah, usually once a month at most.

I haven't re-lubed my 3x3 in over 3 months lol. It's still doing fine.

Some cubes don't really need lube when their performance is good

I really think that your cube is sluggish either because of the cube itself, the lube you are using, or the amount of lube you are using. I think it is the lube you are using though.

you might just want to get a new cube. The YJ Yulong V2 M is really good and is pretty cheap (like $12 USD)

I am using silicone spray (without any solvents) I have applied it before and it was fine, I think I just put too much and the screws are kinda full of lube
