My lube method, anyone else do the same?

[Offblast!]

Most cubers disassemble their cubes completely, spray every side every which way and let the pieces dry for a few hours. While this method is super effective and highly recommended it is time consuming and boring I figured I could do away with some of the hassle so I came up with my own thing and am now wondering how many of you do the same.

I have a can of silicon lube (Golden Eagle - guaranteed to lubricate plastic, rubber, metal & wood). I spray a little lube into a bottle cap, then, with only the middle cube layer rotated 45°, I use a small water coloring brush to paint the visible black internal edges with lube. If the brush is small enough you can push lube in between the actual cube pieces. I then repeat the process with the cube rotated 90° (x rotation)

I've been doing this recently instead of disassmbely and spraying and I can pretty much lube 90% of my cube in 30-60 seconds. I have to say though it does not last as long but considering the time savings is well worth it.

Anyone do anything similar?

I take UF out, spray inside. x2. Take UF out, spray inside.
Lots of people do this. It's probably faster than yours, and better still

Your way works, but it isn't necessary. I never understood why people take apart the cube and spray all the pieces individually. I do the same as Joey, just pop a piece, spray, put it back in, and start solving. Sometimes I do it twice, and it works perfectly fine. Silicon spray also evaporates quickly, so spraying it into a puddle in the cap will make you go through a can a lot quicker.

I take mine right apart for one reason: Jigaloo will eat your cube away if left in puddles using the pop a corner method. I used to just pop a corner and edge and spray it in but I found it was killing my cube so now I do the dissassemble method with a wipe down before (for the gunk) and after (for the excess). It really doesn't take much time and only needs to be done after few weeks.
