One-Answer Lube Thread

[CornerCutter]

I don't have silicone spray but is there any household item that I can lube my Moyu Aolong v2 with?

I don't have an answer, but DON'T use Petroleum Jelly! It will kill your cube.

how about lotion?

What Q20?

 

[Jared Dyck]

I need to know if Gans standard lube evaporates quickly and if the performance is good, does anyone use this lube?

 

[Felipe Rigon]

I have this lube, but I don't use it often. It does not speed up the cube like maru, even though it's thin. If you want something to give a boost of speed to you cube, I wouldn't recommend gans lube.

I need a lube that will last for about three weeks preferably, is there something you reccomend?

 

[Felipe Rigon]

I haven't tried it yet, buy people say the DNM-37, from the cubicle, lasts for a really long time.

 

[Jared Dyck]

If I did 20-30 solves a day on average, how long would a couple drops of DNM-37 last?

 

[Ordway Persyn]

I don't think it matters how much solves you do. because it supposedly draws moisture from the air its longevity should be based on how humid the air is. It should at least last over a week.

What is a lube I can use in my Gans 356 air that will last for over a week (preferably 2-3 if that's even possible!)

I use Traxxas 10k, and it seems to make it over a week, in my AIR UM.

i have run out of weight 5 lube and now i have weight 1 lube. i have a competition ahead, so i just wanted to know whether can we lube the core with weight 1 lube

 

[Robinbar]

What is the best spot on the cube to apply lube? I have a gans 356s, where do I apply my maru lube? Some people turn the top layer 45 degrees and put some lube on top of the edges in the middle layer? Some people take out an edge in the top layer and put 1-2 drops in? What is the best spot to lube the gans 356s? Done around 200+ solves with it.

I put too much lube (DNM 37) in my gan air um, and it is now very "sticky". I do not like this feeling. How should I make this stickiness go away?

 

[RonM]

I'd use paper towel and wipe some of it away.

The nice thing about the UM is that you can just unscrew one GES and remove an entire layer as a whole, wipe it down and put it back. I typically only clear off one layer if I over lube, figuring the remaining lube will redistribute itself more acceptably thereafter.

I'm sure others could give better advice, this is just what I do.

 

[Diamond Cubing]

How many cubes is 10cc DNM-37 good for if I put 2 drops in a puzzle (like it says on thecubicle)?

 

[Competition Cuber]

Does anyone know which is better: silk or SCS cosmic lube (galaxy, martian, etc.)

 

[Felipe Rigon]

How many cubes is 10cc DNM-37 good for if I put 2 drops in a puzzle (like it says on thecubicle)?

About 100 cubes, with 2 drops per cube.

 

[XLCuber]

What are the most needed lubes. For example weight 5,3 etc

 

[Mårten]

I just started cubing like 2 weeks.

Had an old Rubiks that is crap so,

I bought a GTS2 and I have a GTS2 V2 magnetic that should come in about 2 weeks.

Now, i can't seem to do get close to a definitive answer (which is fine, I understand a lot is preference) about how to lube my cube.

My first find was to just go Maru Lube, but apparently the cube gets too fast.

So then I was advised to get Maru lube except for core where I could get like Traxxas 50k.

Then the last bid I got was to get Traxxas 10k for the whole cube.
