my friend wants me to break in his storebrought in 1 day!

[panyan]

my friend lent me his storebought cube and he wants it back asap and at the very latest by the end of the week. It is ridiculously tight and the white face is even worse! I have pumped it full of silicone spray and it still turns really badly. it is so tight! what do you recommend. I am thinking about putting ice lolly sticks in between the core and the centres to stretch the core out a bit. HELP!

i dont think a friend is worth the price of a cube (about £5), it is more about the challenge than just about buying a diy and using that instead

So how was or is breaking it in?

I am building a break in machine. It has motors and vices and strange apparatuses. You put on your helmet, tighten the sucker in, flip it on and run.

tell him his cube sucks and there is no hope for it. then tell him to buy a new one

well anyway i just kept "mincing" the cube in my hand (just keep crushing the faces as you turn them to make the core looser, make the corner cutting better, etc) and now it is almost as good as my white type A cube! i have been doing it for about 2.5 hours and i am very impressed, i may even consider getting a storebought for myself (i never got one!)

p.s. 200th post!
