Not getting a good grip on the cube

[Inusagi]

After travelling to France and Poland I discovered that my fingers would not get a good grip on the cube. My fingers are gliding with the stickers, and my 5x5 times gets 30 seconds worse in average. This doesn't happen often in Norway, but when it happens, I could just wash my hands with soap and everything became better. That didn't work here in Poland and not in France either. Does anybody know a solution. I am competing in Euro 12 today, so I really need to be at my best

I guess you have sweaty hands, which is made worse by humidity. Washing with soap normally works for me. If that doesn't work then you could try spraying antiperspirant on your hands or something stronger like anti-hydral cream. Or you could change stickers to something with more friction. Maybe you could just carry hand sanitizer around with you to use before cubing.

The hand sanitizer is a good idee I think :confused:

you could try textured tiles

I paint my cubes. The last step is a clear varnish. I choose a varnish that is easy to grip.

I tried to use the thing you can use to get rid of nail polish. It worked^^
