Good god, back on topic. Do you think boron treatment could be a potential mod to some of your top-of-the-line cubes?

never heard of it tbh
What is it?

Legitimately useful post by Michael. This is actually what I used, but I modified some ingredients by increasing the boric acid content of the acetone mixture.

What's the purpose of this process @Bingus Ringus McDingus

But one thing to note is that if doing the boron treatment to a modern stickerless cube like the WRM v9 then you should't submerge the entire part. since the outer colored faces need to be untouched if you want a comp legal cube.

It softens the plastic and creates a unique scratchy feel not unlike a new MoYu cube, but lasts longer and retains the feel even with proper setup and lubing. It works, as tested on an MF3RS2M I tried at a comp. It be nice.

I fix this by just adding electrical tape on the outside. If you remove it quick enough after treatment it won't degrade.

In that case I'd avoid trying it on the Gan11-14. Since they already have very thin walled parts.

hmm... interesting. So sorta like the way the AoShi is. It's sandy even after lubing.
I probably wouldn't do it until I try a cube with the treatment, but still cool

I'll send you my QiYi MS and maybe the Meiying if I can finish them. I would send you a starter kit to do your own puzzles but I have a slight suspicion that USPS wouldn't let me send highly corrosive chemicals in standard airmail, so I would settle for just sending you some samples.

Just remind me later down the road and I'll look back into it

You got to remember that NS is a young teen. At the same time his parent's might not like him playing with those types of chemicals.

Lil bro I am literally the same age as him and also said that sending him a bottle of acetone would not be great for USPS shipping.

And once again, I will inform y'all I am literally almost a chemist. I am top of my class in AP Chem in only sophomore, and I've played with many a bottle of acetone before.

Dude, my parents are very understanding with these mods
You can't tell someone what my parents are like when you don't even know anything about me

I understand that but I'm more talking about the boron acid/roach killer like what was used in the video I shared.

okay and?
You can't just go around assuming what people's parents are like

Michael it's been less than an hour since I last ratio'd your ass, so stay helpful or don't stay here.

I'm not though. All I'm saying that it might be a concern. On the other hand some places that you can buy that stuff has an age restriction for those who can buy it.

Stay out of it.
