[Help Thread] Lubrication Thread

[Mahogany]

I put DNM-37 in my Weilong GTS2M about a week and a half ago. Felt great for that duration, but now it's just really sluggish. Should I clean the previous DNM out before reapplying? Or how should I go about making it feel better again?

I would not muck about with my cubes treating them like Formula 1 cars. I think they would end up worse than when you started. The thread tags include butter and cooking oil WTF

Good to see someone else is still using a GTS2M! (I use mine as my backup OH cube). I wouldn't think that DNM-37 slows it down, if anything, the more you add, the faster it gets. However, you only really need 1-2 drops, so if you added any more than that, it might be overkill. If you didn't, I would imagine some other cause, like dust that's been kicked up, would be the problem.

Either way, I would recommend cleaning it out with a paper towel, and make sure to get into the torpedoes. That should fix your issues. If it persists, try cleaning out the screws and springs, as those can get a bit gummed up too.

This was an entirely unnecessary and useless post to this thread. Please think before you post. You're 54, for God's sake. You should know better.

That was completely rude.
And Bingus was right in the first place, YOUR post was useless. You could have said something that adds to the thread, like something about lube.

Edit: And you can't be talking, have you ever made a useful post before???

As a matter of fact, he has made a useful post before. Or two. Or three. Or four. Or five. Or... wait, that's it. Five.

Anyway, so I don't seem like I'm not abusing this thread, I do have to ask someone what the best way to revive a big cube with lots of internal scratches. I have heard of the Lubicle 1 route, but it hasn't seemed to work for me.
