In the cube, you mean?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Well yeah.. you could put it in your lap, but I think that is less effective

 

[SenileGenXer]

You might want to just lube the cube normally with the Silicone oil. Look at CrazyBadCuber's lubrication video.. Perhaps be a bit stingier on the outer pieces. Then drop one drop or Maru into the cube.

The white Maru Lube does not mix with lubix or traxxis but it does evaporate very quickly and leave behind a clear slippery slightly cakey silicone residue. The residue mixes but can also be a lubricant on it's own.

oh, no, I tried it before.
made my legs faster!

So I went and nearly beat Usain Bolt, but then I had a lockup.

Why would you want to mix lubricants? Does it really help?

It can help cause some stuff in the lubes can go well with some other lubes

 

[Lchu613]

And also, I don't want to waste half a bottle of maru

So I accidentally ordered a bottle of 60W shock oil instead of 60k W diff oil. Will this have any cubing use?

 

[uniacto]

hahaha you can try to cancel the order.

I heard that you can use the shock oil to put on the screws of the core of your cube if you don't want to disassemble your core, since it's so thin that it sorta slips through and lubricates it in between.

do 50k weight diff oil just has more of the stuff than something like 30k, or is k a measure of viscosity? help!!!

it's a measure of viscosity. 50k (50,000 weight) is thicker/more viscous than 30k(30,000 weight).

Okay, I am getting a new cube, and I want a stickerless guhong. I hear that crc makes the color dull, does that really happen? Please only answer if you have tried. Btw I cannot get lubix, or diff oil.

Most of the time CRC dose not affect the stickers.

 

[Infernado]

It doesn't have stickers. It is a stickerless, does it affect the plastics color?

A little but not that noticeable nothing that bad.

 

[Infernado]

Do you know where I could find some pictures?
