Yeah, and let's not forget the total absence of DIY cubes around here. Or proper lubrication. The 3-in-1 Silicon sprays just don't cut it for me. In fact, the cube feels worse after I'm done with it. I have no idea what speedcubers from Singapore use. I've been checking everywhere. The Internet, forums, stuff like that. Everyone is saying "Use heavy duty silicon spray, it works like a dream." People telling other people to use that thing that I use... And saying that it's really good? What am I doing wrong? It doesn't make any sense. My cube's been seasoned, nicely broken in, and cleaned thoroughly. But all that silicon spray does is make it squeak louder and more annoyingly. I gave up and dumped the can in the garage, and have been looking for something else ever since.
I actually considered getting that stuff that people use for... Non-industrial purposes... But that would really be a last resort.
Okay, never mind. I don't need new lube. I need new stickers. My cube is currently in ... not very nice condition, and I don't want to get a new one. The process of breaking a new cube in is just torturous. Need. New. Stickers.
I don't get it. Why even bother with stickers? Why not just paint the plastic right there? I believe humans do have such technology.
Or you know, maybe I'll just do that. Anyone know where I can get that kind of paint used for models and figurines? Probably art shops. Damn, if I had time.
Yay for a completely unproductive waste of time here. I'm going to clean out the excess vaseline from my cube. Again.
Gah.
