Survey: What kind of lube do you use?

[bluecloe45]

If I'm using a cube such as a Type A, where the plastic is more "rough" you could say, I would use CRC. This also includes my Type C 2x2. However, on "softer" cubes, I use Lubix, this includes all of my Dayan cubes, and my megaminx.

Standard silicone weight 7 form the Cubicle for everything but OH cube.

Diff oil.

 

[Cubic]

I've just tried some silicone grease on my LunHui. I was more a gel than I grease, so was easy to syringe out of the tube and into/onto the cube. Seems to have spread well and all creaks and scrapes have gone.

After a couple off hours I'll see if the cube feels gummy.

I added a link to this from the Wiki page on lube. Seems like a good resource.

I use Traxxas 50k for most things, but I also use Maru lube on things like pyraminx tips and sometimes on 2x2s and 3x3s.

You don't use Petroleum based lubes?

gotta hate the anti meme rule.

on topic: no , i didnt even know there are lubes based on petroleum

 

[cubingawsumness]

I use CRC only because I have nothing else but hope to get something else sometime soon (or not). Oh and I often just leave my cubes unlubed as well.

 

[waffle=ijm]

forgot to check some grease. bacon grease.

 

[mrpotatoman14]

I would also recommend Thom's Snakeoil.

 

[Andreaillest]

CRC, only because that's all I have at the moment. I've had the same bottle ever since I first started cubing.
I've used lubix, but since I ran out, resorted back to CRC.

Traxxas. Always Traxxas.

Bought my first speedcube from Lubix and it was amazing, so I've stuck with them ever since.

20k wt shock oil, Maru and Z lube. I use Lubix in cores and when I need to gum up a slightly overspinning puzzle.
