Well what do you know, on Amazon the postage to Ireland was either unavailable or too expensive, but ebay had both with very reasonable postage prices. Thanks!

Of the 2, which one is better? Also, how much should I use?

The idea is that you use the 50k which is a much thicker lube in the screws and core, and the 15wt on the pieces as it's much runnier. If you had to only choose one (I would recommend getting both, they hardly ever run out), I would go with the 50k and put very little on the pieces.

Thanks. I'll get both. I hope I don't end up putting too much.

Well, in case anyone else from Ireland has the same problem, I managed to find Tableau Dry Lube in Lenehans on Capel St, Dublin

Maru lube problem?

Hello
I just resantly go some Maru lube and applied it to my moyu aolong v2 it has been in for about a week now today I put my hand inside the cube to feel the inside of the corner and some black came out on my finger. I am wondering if the lube is eating away the plastic like Vaseline or the dried up lube is just getting coloured from the dye that covers the plastic. If this has happened to anyone else or anyone thinks hey know what is happing plz leave a comment thanks

With most lubes, the cube gets black gunk inside. Im guessing its a mix of dried lube and dust. If you think your cube is actually being eatin at by the lube, consider doing a test with the same lube on a different cube to see. I use maru lube frequently and i dont think it eats at the cube

I've also not had any problems with Maru. It's likely to be cube dust.

Ok thanks I will try Lubeing my Dian zanchi to see if the same thing happens thanks

It totally depends on how you want it to feel. I would say on average, 1 drop every 150 solves maybe.

It dries pretty quickly, even if you don't solve.

I heard that Maru Axis Lube helps make your cube smoother. Does this reduce lock-ups? Thanks.

When you really Maru lube do you need to clean out the dry lube inside the cube

How can I make my lube last longer? I have cubicle weight 3 and it seems to only last ~200 solves. Thicker lube?

It should last longer then that.

My cube feels dry after about that long.
Maybe it's my cube? I use a 356

Not sure, perhaps cubes with holes in the pieces can "eat" lube faster but, really, weight 3 should last much, much longer, like thousands of solves / a couple of months.

What should my cube feal like when it is propaly lubed with Maru I am not sure if my cube it to gummy or just fine
