Izo Stickers?

How long is shipping for a sticker set on puzzleaddictions? I've ordered a sticker set from Izo and am wondering when I'll get it. Additionally, whats your favorite color scheme? I've ordered Izo's favorite set as I think they're nice and vibrant.

What is the best way to do D2's? I do it with my left hand pinky followed by ring. I hv seen youtubers do ring+pinky but i dont get the hang of it (maybe i havent tried that hard). Is there anyone else who does pinky+ring?

I do ring+middle, usually with my right hand.

 

[aznanimedude]

i don't do D2 very much except when scrambling, but i've always just double flicked it with my ring finger when i had to

 

[uvafan]

Yeah i do pinky-ring

 

[uberCuber]

I do ring-middle. For OH as well as 2H.

Hi guys,
So recently my GuHong-2 began to feel too loose for me. I tried to tighten the screws but it still feels loose. Does anyone have a solution? Or is this just a sign of a dying cube?

- In my 3 years of cubing, I never figured this out :fp

Send it to me. In all seriousness, i hope its not too loose but if you feel that way just tighten it more.

I made an order from Puzzle Addictions, and I got a *free* type c mini 4x4. Yes, free. On the invoice it said $0.00. Has this happened to anyone else?

I use a dayan guhong v2 as my main. Tightening along with relubing will solve this. From my experience I believe that the G v2 has very smooth plastic and once lubed with a gummyer (or is it gummier?) it will help slow down the cube. I came to this from after overlubing my G v2 and then wiping the lubricant out it became extremley fast. When tightening make sure to tighten evenly and use 1/8 turns to get that "perfect tension"

It's "gummier". Hyprul 9-ty2, do you mean Guhong v1 or Guhong v2? Sometimes people use the "2" because Guhong is Dayan's second cube, just like Zhanchi is Zhanchi-5. Anyway, I have a Guhong v1 and it was always rattly if that's what you mean. Try relubing it as ducttapecuber suggested.

But yeah, I have the same question... how do we know when a cube has "died" or "worn out"? I don't think any of my cubes have gotten there, just well broken-in. But then, I've only had my Guhong since Feb...

How do you accurately apply stickers on cubes? Everyone says to use a razor blade to place them over and press them down, but on youtube videos, there's always a sticker that's a tiny bit off. How do I prevent that?

You could use some tape, push the tape down on the stickers, and then press them on the cube. Peel the tape off.

I don't understand how that makes it more accurate. Is it better than just using a razor blade?

Maybe I didn't explain right, using this method, you put multiple stickers (even a whole side) on with 1 piece of tape, at the same time.

I thought the stickers were spaced unequally? and wouldn't the tape have too much adhesive on it to apply it cleanly?

Most stickers are spaced the same compared to the cubes, but if the stickers and cubes are not compatible, e.g. 55mm Zhanchi with Cubesmith regular stickers, then it's better to apply them manually. I think bluecole is referring to application tape. They come with some cubes you buy, like Dayan cubes.
