When lubricating, is it ok if you lube a cube that
1) already has shock oil with maru lube?
2) Shock oil with CRC?
3) Maru Lube with CRC?

Like will mixing them make it faster, or slower, or no difference?

I'd wash it out.

Shock oil and maru worked fine for me.

Shock oil and crc are also good together. Use the right ammounts together for good speed but still have that shock oil smooth.

I feel like I rely on corner cutting too much, how do I practice getting away from this habbit?

My majic clock has many scratches and is taped together after I lubed it. Is it competition legal?

If your question hasn't been answered it's most likely no knows.
You can check the regulations and see for yourself.
You don't need to bump your question after just one page.

Nah, Dan's not slow. He said he can run a mile in 45 seconds.

I dont know how to quote (forum noob) but cheers, that is slow.

Anyway second question: My cross average of 12 is 6.45 my f2l is usually about 14 seconds and my LL is about 8 or 9 seconds. Obviously i need to improve all aspects of my solving but which one is furthest from perfection and would benefit most from alot of hardcore practice

 

[Chapuunka]

Cross. Should easily be sub-4, if not sub-3. F2L next.

core missalignment

How can I fix this? (How much of the Maru do I have to take apart?)

 

[vcuber13]

if you stick a screwdriver into the screw and try to push the core back into place

How often should I usually clean my cube and what is a good way of lubing my FII with jigaloo? Just pop out a piece and spray it in or dissassemble and leave overnight?

Jigaloo turns into glue if you put a lot and don't turn the cube often I think.

I think you should clean out your cube whenever it starts feeling a little slow. Like once a month.
To spray Jigaloo, just pop an edge out, spray a few squirts, op the edge back in, and do a few solves.

Yau is like K4/reduction hybrid

I'd say that's pushing it.

You're kidding, right?

I've been trying to get commutators for a while now, and I don't get it at all still (well I get the basic, but I still can't use them). Is there any better resource than this thread for understanding commutators?
