I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR CUBE MELTS!
ok, alot of people are useing jig-a-loo these days to "lube" there cubes. in my experience jig-a-loo doesnt really lube your cube, it softens the plastic and when i say soften i mean melt (no i did not dump the can into my cube) i did 2 short sprays into my cube and later noticed black marks on my pants. it was the melted plastic from my cube and to further test this i took and old type a Edge (diy) i no longer use, took the stickers off and just sprayed it. i picked it up to look at it and noticed i could actually see the plastic being eaten away and the cubie was warped from where i had touched it and my finger print was embeded into the plastic. now............ i was very brave and decided to experiment with my main cube (rubiks.com diy with A-core and A-spring/washer/screws) so i took out an edge sprayed for about 3 seconds and then worked the jig-a-loo in note* i scrambled the cube as i worked it in i did NOT keep it in its finished state. the results were astonishing the inside of my cube is as smooth as i could possibly imagine and because i scrambled as i worked it in the edges and corners of the cubies were smoother and rounder for better cutting and overall performance. all-in-all im very pleased with this though i was ridiculously scared at first that i just melted my cube.
If you plan on doing this i advise you try it with your backup cube or one you just don't like: simply remove and edge spray in jig-a-loo (NOTE* hold the straw in on the can or it will fly off and spray you in the eyes at 11:30PM and as you frantically run to the bathroom to washout your eyes you trip on your old computer) now spray for about 3 seconds quickly put the edge back in and scramble the cube as you work the jig-a-loo in, you will feel your cube sort of *boggdown* or get really slow, just keep working it in for about 5 min. it should start to get much easier and you should notice if feels like the hood of your car after a good waxing.
Sorry this is my first tutorial and im kinda ?dumb? yeah ok post any questions comments flames w/e
