"Most of you have probably already lubed a rubics cube I'm assuming" That is the wildest assumption I've heard.

I have actually used lube before. But not a cube tho.

[@LilacMonarch]

Level 9: The lubricant here is made of lubricant

[@Chuck.1715]

honestly, over the years of trying to lube my cubes with all sorts of lubricants, i came around to machine oil from my grandmas knitting machine. It was long lasting silicone based oil, that pretty much does not evaporate, and it is chemically stable, so it only gunks up over time as dust, and all sorts of other particles sticks to the lube. So my cubes are good for my use even after years of not tinkering with them after I bought 200ml bottle of cheap industrial lube (WD-40 like), and I still have most of the can, even after using it not only on my cubes, but all around the house.

[@Stettafire]

Sewing machine oil is honestly so good. Not too sticky and heavy either

[@theodoreroosevelt6439]

Last one sounds like youre trying to solve a macaroni and cheese cube.

[@RaginKavu]

That's the first time I've ever heard someone complain about too much lube...

[@TrickyTricky914]

Yeah, usually my bf complains about not enough. 😏 But then again, I guess that DOES make the cube hard to turn. So I get where he’s coming from

[@pokeninjafireemblem]

The only criticism i have is that this test should have been done on 5 separate cubes, since you're basically just stacking the lube from previous tests

Bro gave us a tutorial on how to add UV coding to our cubes

[@DrRazernij]

I'd like to see a level where you take apart the whole cube and then re-assemble it again while it's inside a bucket filled with lubricant. And then do that again, but with motor oil instead of lubricant.

[@named_account]

where do you get a bucket of lube

[@benbot0733]

You still could have made it worse by completely submerging the cibe in lubricant for 30 minutes straight

[@user-op5gr7vr7e]

[@fluxrono1811]

And then solving it while more lube is dripped down onto it

why would.. Lube make it STICKY??? thats literally the opposite of lubricating.

[@TinyMaths]

I've found that a very quick way of lubing your cube is to practice solves while taking a bath... The lubrication can be complete and immediate.

4:44 HELLO FOCUS BUDY!

[@packered]

Back when I was in high school and first heard of lubricating a rubik's cube to make it turn better, I definitely over did it. I popped off each of the 12 edge pieces and put a large dollop of vasoline behind each piece. Then just turned it randomly for a while to spread it around. It wasn't as stiff to turn as the final experiment you did here, in fact it eventually became quite smooth to turn. However, that involved a lot of the vasoline slowly leaking out between the pieces. I just popped it open, over a decade later, and it's still got that lovely slimy texture. Turns great now though

[@ReachingNerdvana]

Never heard a Rubik's cube sound like stirring pasta before

[@imstupid880]

Turns out when you overlube a cube, it turns sticky, squelchy, hard, slow to finish, and can take a lot of meat and force.

[@thepoonhound3003]

this cube is totally asking for it.

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

[@arisandra]

How do you usually lubricate your cubes?

[@Lukcarrot]

Normal

[@AroGrooves]

i just have a method of "little bit of this little bt of that", i use 1-3 scoops of angstrom dignitas and 2 drops of dnm-37. i am sorry i do not use speedcubeshop lube i just can't buy it

[@TPerm805]

Not like this 😂

[@sonicblueblur702]

Regularly

[@RainerF]

Hi Ari. I think less is better. I recently switched to Angstrom Gravitas and Dignitas, and I use much less than shown in the videos. To break in I do 50 solves. After that I make changes if necessary. Because the following applies: adding lube is better than cleaning and starting over. That's also the problem with Celeritas A & B. If you use too much of A, you have to clean and repeat. With other lubricants you can save yourself with DNM37 or Compound X. I apply Compound X in half drops with a toothpick. And after each change 50 solves.
