What lube is closest to manufacturer lube?(Dayan). I just unboxed my zhanchi and the lube makes it real quiet and smooth. Would maru lube be good?

Don't use Maru... it's too low viscosity and will just run out quickly- Although a mix of Maru and Diff oil (at least 30 K wt) should do the trick. I would use a 2:1 ratio (Maru : Diff Oil) although its really up to you on how similar it is to the manufacturer's lube.
Why?
He looks sort of 1.8 ish (IDK though)
My Question... I'm a bit lazy but where is the cheapest place that sells Stackmats (V1) with free or little shipping?

Tips on memorizing the 2-Look OLL and PLL algorithms? I only remember one of them and I still can't get them all down in my head

I either do this:
Remember 5 moves, then add a move each time and try to remember it.
Or now I find it much easier to do this:
Repeat the alg 20 times while reading it, then try to get sub-40 repeating the alg 20 times in a row without.

One or two each day and make sure you can execute through not only muscle memory but also when you are turning slow. I've just finished learning my last PLL doing one per day... Just make sure when you finish learning one alg... go through everything you have learnt previously... Start with a solved cube and with everything but G- perms go back and forth using the alg to get from solved to situation repetitively.
Oh and make sure your algs are good or you're going to regret it later
EDIT Ninja'd....
Listen to 5BLD- he's probably more experienced than I am

uhh lets see...
Ill do pll first
With the any a perm you could match the cross unless you know the cross pattern thingy and know you need to switch corners you can look for the head lights and correspond them to the matching corner like
Eg the good corner is on the bottom left and the head lights are at the back you do the CW A perm
and if the good corner is on the bottom left and the headlights are at the left the do the CCW A perm
and im not bothered typing the other stuff...
EDIT : i just saw its MEMORIZING not RECOGNIGTION(cant spell DX)i look for patterns in the alg and then SEE what ill get and like i know theres a repeating pattern in U perm so i can remember that

no i was doing tips on recog coz i fail at readin some how o.o
does anyone know how long (approx) it might take for a cube to get from USA to Australia? i expect the delivery method will be sea mail or whatever is pretty cheap as it is through Puzzle Addictions and he offers free shipping... or even better, does anyone know what courier/postal companies puzzle addictions uses? or at least a decent guess? i haven't ordered anything from USA before :/

Are there any ghosthand 5x5 mods that have been done to reduce lock ups? I'm currently modding the center- corners and the corners.

do NOT use sea mail unless you love waiting (assuming you don't) use air mail, sea mail I heard takes 2 months + and puzzle addictions uses USPS first class to Australia, I'm from Sydney and it takes about 7 business days (which means it doesn't include weekends) so if I order on Sunday it would come on the next next Tuesday. Hope this helps
yeah i wouldn't use sea mail, but i expected puzzle addictions would (as they are offering postage free)

^^^THAT my dear friend, has made my DAY!
he said he was sending (most likely) on monday, which is tuesday for us, so lets assume it'll be... wednesday or thursday next week! heck YEAH!
thank you clifford and thank you puzzle addictions!

no, because 2 of the H cases are the same as 2 others so that there are 44 cases - 2 equivalent = 42

Say one wanted to paint the colors back onto a cube that had lost it... would it be best to take the stickers off before hand or could i just paint on the stickers?
