What's the best/easiest way to resticker 5x5+ cubes with application tape? like entire face at once or like 3x3 blocks or something else? I don't like crooked stickers and I want to minimize bubbles but I don't want to spend hours putting every sticker on one by one by hand.

The way i did it using application tape was completely remove the stickers, the use the tape to apply stickers in 2x5 rows. And then do the last row as a 1x5. Worked okay for me and it didnt take too long

No one has a consistent average. Some days are better, faaar better than others. Sometimes your times just drop seconds, and the other day the sudden boost seems vanished. Just don't be nervous about it. It's natural. Keep calm and have fun!

You sure it's not just the pieces rattling?
Check to make sure the centers are pressed together all the way

I recently just got a Moyu Weilong Version 1 and have already lubricated the core and pieces with Calvin's High Viscosity Lubricant. I have this problem with it where if I'm doing a lot of fast moves, some other layers move or I get constant lockups. I've tried changing the tensions to really loose and tight but the only thing that changes is the speed. I also find a lot of the time that it's very uncontrollable. After playing with my Moyu, I tried my old Shaung Ren V2 and it works perfectly fine. No lock ups and controllable but the speed isn't as good as the Moyu's. I have many theories as to the problem such as I just can't control it, my tensions are messed or my cousin broke it. Would the Weilong V2 fix these problems or is there a fix for this?

 

[Lchu613]

Supposedly, the V2 is more controllable.
I'm guessing your main problem is that it's just too fast for you or your turning style.
Probably you should just stick with your Shuang Ren if that works for you.

What would the MoYu color scheme be considered name wise? Is it half-bright, full-bright, etc.

Actually it is the peices that are rattling. What do you mean by pressing the centers together? If you mean the piece that adds on to the center then they are together all the way. Sorry im new to cubes do you know any other way make the pieces stop rattling?

What does for ex. 1/2 or ¾ of a cubey mean, for ex. when talking about reverse corner cutting? Maybe someone has pics to explain how much it is to me. Thanks!

You can still corner-cut if the 1/2 or 3/4 part (width) of the corner is mis-aligned.

ShengShou Aurora/Dayan GuHong v2. I got a GuHong from Amazon as my first speedcube, as did two others I knew. All three of our cubes dies very quickly and are now very slow. I wouldn't get a cube from Amazon.

Oh ya My first speed cube was a Guhong V1 from Amazon and amazon is a very good place to get cube. I recommend a SS wind for you.

Why a SS Wind? The Aurora is a much better version of it for not much more money at all.

Learn accuracy on it.

When buying from Amazon, make sure you're buying from a company with positive reviews. Some sellers tend to send you the wrong cube.

I used to think that way, but then I took an arrow to the (no just kidding).
In my opinion that isn't necessary. You can learn accuracy fine on a forgiving cube. If you really care bout it you can just tighten it up.

Hmmm. How bad is this rattling?

It could be that the pieces like the corners aren't fully assembled, and a little loose. It could also just be normal.

That rattling is actually really bad. Almost unsolveable and luckily I also got a Zhanchi in my order but the rattling makes me be extra gentle when solving it. I like the peices aren't assembled all the way so I will most likely try that again. I don't think it's normal because I saw a review of the cube and I can't hear any shaking whatsoever. Thanks a lot for the help!

Never had that happen in the past 4 years of buying cubes from amazon.
