Is this the same stuff as Cubicle application tape?

For example, is it 3/8 inch, 1/4 inch, etc.
Thanks!

What cable is used to connect a stack mat (pro) to a computer? Is it only available with a display?

How can I tell if the center caps on my Gans 356 are the new ones or the old ones?

 

[Ordway Persyn]

If there completely flat then there the old ones.

does the yuhu come with washers?

does the yuhu come with washers?

..You mean extra washers? If so then no, they don't seem to include extra washers. .-.

What can I do with my Dayan 2x2 to make it stop popping, or even pop less than it does now? All I've done is lube it with maru lube so far and it's on really tight tensions.

Tighter tensions, more accurate turning.

Not cubed for over a year. What are some of the better 3x3-7x7s? When I left moyu 3x3s were starting to take over.

At the moment people seem to like Gans 356, Tanglong and Guhongs for 3x3s

For bigger cubes Yuxin seems to be starting to dominate although many still seem to like shengshou.

My only 2x2 currently is Lingpo. It´s pretty good but I have some lockups and it is little bit slow (going to buy lube when I order something from Cubicle). I´m between getting Dayan 2x2 and new tangpo. Which cube I should get and from the pics of the mechanics do you guys think that lockup problem is fixed on tangpo? NB! In have bad turning style so that might be the reason cube lockups sometimes. Sorry for bad english, it isn´t my first language.

I use the LingPo currently, but I'll probably switch to the TangPo when they ship out. Most new cubes nowadays have something to minimize lock ups, I imagine the TangPo will to.

I've been using a Sulong as my main 3x3 for a while, and recently I've been trying to loosen it up, but I'm running into a wall. No matter how much I loosen the tensions, the insides of the corner pieces frequently catch on the center pieces. Right now, the cube is loose to the point of being unstable, but the corner cutting is still inconsistent and the cube gives me frequent lockups during PLL execution.
Is there a good way to mediate these issues? Should I be more careful with the tensions, or my turning, or is there something else to take into consideration?
I've been considering switching mains regardless, but I don't want this to be the reason I switch.

I received a JieYun today. It's incredibly tight, and I want to loosen it - the only problem is that I think the caps work in the same way as ShuangRen caps, and require the cube to be at least partially disassembled for them to be removed.
The cube is too tight for me to take out any pieces, no matter how hard I try.

Any help?

Maybe try to pry them off with a screwdriver?
